Chinese animal rights groups are urging TV stations not to show a magic trick of goldfish swimming in formation.
They believe the performance could involve the use of magnets and therefore harm the fish.
Campaigners want the act dropped from variety shows to be broadcast on Thursday to mark the end of the Chinese New Year holiday.
The magician at the centre of the controversy, Fu Yandong, denies he harms the fish.
The trick has amazed audiences across China, appearing on one of the biggest shows of the year, China Central Television's New Year's Eve special.
