Yes, they tatoo fish like I sow a tatooed fish that had Cardanals Logo on it.Its cruel they tatoo the parrots even Discuss. THe fish have a shorter lifespan and It fades away after a month. Look up tatooed fish and tell me wat you see.

Yeah, they sedate the fish and then revive it a few minutes later. It doesnt kill the fish or stress them to the point of ich......but obviously that would be like me tatooing a 5 year old. Sure........it can be done..........but is it really a good idea?

Most people on these sites are VERY against tattooing fish. Many of the fish die in the process as it requires using toxic substances..

I am against it. I didnt exactly state that before. none of us should promote it. My lfs bought a few, and I asked him what the hell he was thinking. He said he only ordered them for a customer thats paying really big money. I told him he should stick by his morals, screw the customer. But I guess he has a family to feed just like most people.

Yea. Such is life. I raise little tipapia when one of my adults spits out a bunch of fry.

When they get bigger I usually feed them to my gars.

My gars need to be able to kill at least some of it's food.

Our fish are pretty lucky to live a couple years if you think of how many die allong the chain of production in the idustry.

lol luvmuff..................myself being a farmer {my family is a retired dairy farm}...................i have a little concern about having the hell burned out of me...................branding is an intrigal part of the beef industry , 1st off free range cattle all roam together so there has to be a way to distinguish my cows from your cows or we could lose a lot of money................. or if your against free range we could raise beef in little pens and not brand them at all.........................2nd, the days of hot branding irons in a camp firs and calves screaming for hours are LONG LONG LONG gone...............like before bonanza was on tv, thats the old west - today branding irons are electric, instantly white hot and the calves are more stressed by the human holding them then by the brand itself, which feels like a bee sting and is quarterized imeadiately so theres no infection issues from a "standard" burn type wound..........................on top of that a lot of big ranches are useing recoverable implant tags, like a pet scanner implant, they litterally drive around their pastures with laptops on their 4 wheelers and can tell everything about any animal out there, date of birth, vet history, blood line etc...........................

so please understand that all industries do their best to treat their products as best as they can - - not to say that there aren't some bad apples out there - - -but hey this did start with tattooing fish, so even our industry has bad people................no?
