Yes! Saw it at Yishun..
Very disgusted by those selling it, and even more disgusted by those who created it!
Over the weekend, I happen to see some deformed albino catfish sold at a LFS. These catfish have lumps (therefore their name) along their body and their shape is not streamline but zig-zag. Reminds me of links of mini-sausages.
Not a good sighting.
Anyone seen them too?

According to the LFS owner, these came from Thailand. I hope the good people from the local fish farms do think before bringing in fish of these nature. It also gives Singapore (as a leading Fish Exporter) a bad name.
The 4D tatoo molly are areadi well known..
Unique and funny singaporean taste for fishes..
4D tatoo molly is still somehow accpectable.. but the deformed catfish is really too much.. looking at how they swim, really breaks my heart.. i noticed they swim up half way and will sink to the bottom.. just like a dead fish...
why should tatooed fish be somehow acceptable at all?
if the fish does not look the way it is supposed to... it's downright unacceptable.
If I were a fish, I'd BREED all Day!
true. but its not that disgusting..
Being a successful LFS, the general health of your fishes is quite important.
Sadden by the state of those fishes...never see my gf jump so far away from a tank after seeing them
Yah lor, those deformed catfish is a real sad story, I heard they were tied with
strings so they grow up deformed

ONE day maybe goldfishes and even arowana be like that too....then they will sell it at a higher price....then they are deformed to a number "8" shape...then people will buy it because they will say its luck.haha
Getting into Fishy Business
Can we charge them for animal cruelty?
LFS here are just selling and they are not the ones that creates these species so maybe a little difficult to sue. As for the creators, they are in Thailand so the local authority should do something about.
My 2 cents of opinion with my limited knowledge of law.

well if you feel this strongly about deformed fishes, then do inform your friends about those parrot fishes. they are deformed due to genetic failure but many people do not know.
why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

You try telling those parrot fish lovers, they sure blanket party you until you forgot your own name.
Then Fancy Goldfish how?
all goldfishes are deformed.

I guess the same goes to Kois.
