More Fancy Goldfish......
 
I go into our new local Pet Supermarket to pick up some freeze
dried Krill and come out with an new Bubble-eye, a Celestial and a Lionhead.
They just got a new shipment in and the quality as usual was superb! :-)
If you have one of these stores near you go check out the GF!

Disclaimer: *No* I do not work for, known the owners of, or own stock in
this store chain.

For every new mutant variation of goldfish that comes to market, do you
realize how many fish are killed for having less then desirable properties?
Buying mutant fish just encourages this kind of behavior from breeders.

Culling in goldfish is very common, as with koi, you are talking in
most cases well over 50 percent....

Many small breeders have a Oscar to take care of the culls, other,
larger ones use other methods...

==========================================
So if *I* stop buying them all the breeders will stop breeding them? How
interesting.......

Exactly. And if I stop buying them I seriously doubt the breeders will all
go bankrupt. :-) They cull the Commets, the Shubunkins, the fantails....
all of them. What next, no more goldfish breeding and keeping?

My culls are placed in farm ponds for mosquito control. Since the poster is
using MY NYM we can only assume it's another troll.
