old methods that were not FDA approved involved turning al fish into males by feeding them testosterone. new methods only involve heat and pressure.

Unfortunately these fish won't color up like a traditional spawning male. Not much of a mount unless your taxidermist is a good artist and then it really doesn't matter what the original fish looked like.
