anyone have more info? like what made it to be red?

Did they have an undoctored picture at all? Hard to tell how extensive or intense the redness is due to the oversaturation.

On April 1st zoopet had the fish for sale for 4$ free international shipping... a new red bloodline, and giant size, 6 to 8 inches long...

Tons of hobbyists ordered.... its been wildly popular....

until people started to catch on or were informed that the start date of the sale should have been your first clue!

Long running April fool's day joke!!!! :lol:

Wow!
Looks like a real fish to me, except for the coloration.
Red is real nice,but could they be dyed?
The color spread is a little.....hmmm

Uhm no its not a real fish, sorry if I wasn't clear. This is a photo of a ram altered by an image editor for the purpose of an April Fools Joke. A forum friend tried to order one and the reply was April Fools etc.

There is no such fish as an 8 inch red ram... sorry

That is really pretty funny, if not a touch ironically sad 8O
