In the comments, Nail Sunny reiterated that "the fish were not harmed" and that they were "returned to the pet store," but that didn't stop the outrage from their many followers.

One wrote, "You're out of your mind if you think that this is okay." Another said, "I really enjoy watching these videos but for real this was just too much 😡." Someone else stated, "This is absolutely ridiculous," and a different commenter added, "So they were bought just to be traumatized then returned because they had no more use to you."

Even PETA got in on the criticism, saying:

"Using animals as if they were nothing more than beauty accessories is sad and stupid. There’s no excuse for ripping sensitive fish out of their natural habitats and confining them to tiny, artificial enclosures – let alone ones attached to people's nails. Most people would be horrified to see these little animals floating helplessly in stagnant water. And as there’s no way to feed the fish and no way for them to get oxygen, they would inevitably die in a matter of days, if not hours. This establishment must be reported to local authorities for cruelty to animals and its access to social media must be suspended while a full investigation takes place."
