Yes they are.
I for one think fish have feelings and should not be colored or tattooed.
I happen to love fish as well as all Gods creations.
Man will have to answer for trying to recreate what nature made.

I think we have plenty of beautiful wild fish without changing them in a lab.
Somewhere between 1300 and 1900 species of cichlids alone.
How many can you keep?
I may be wrong but I think about 25,000 species of fish.

Sorry but a sore subject with me. Line breed for deeper color is fine but to dye or geneticly change a fish is wrong.
