A list of websites detailing some horrific practices that go on in the aquarium industry, these fish are often weakened and diseased from both the stress and having implements/needles used on thousands of fish so should be avoided both for the sake of not supporting cruel practices and secondly for the health of your own aquarium. Lymphocystitis, fish TB, columnaris, neon tetra disease are a few of the diseases that the majoraty of these fish carry. They are a convenient package of weakened immune system and disease. perfect to infect a healthy tank.
