Glo-Fish = Danios

darwin would be so proud. is there any way we can do something really worthwhile, like maybe put wings on an octopus?
Is there a chance of passing the GloFish's DNA if one dies in your tank and the shrimp eat him? Will some of my shrimps offspring inherit it somehow through ingestion by the parents?
GloFish were never injected. Ever.
Unless you count injecting a plasmid of DNA coding for a jellyfish protein into the Nuclei of a zygotic Zebra danio.
There is nothing cruel about these fish, or keeping them in captivity. In fact, they pose absolutely no risk to the environment, as they are the antithesis of camouflage, and would be eaten within hours.
UNLIKE dyed fish, these can live a full and happy life of as good a quality as their natural brethren.
+1 for Stephen Colbert's GloCat.

awe man... I was really hoping they were from "inbreeding" between jellies and danios. That has to be one of the funniest posts I've ever read on here.
There are plenty of glow fish apologist on here. I guess I have no real beef about them (aside from the fact that they look ridiculous). Guess I just prefer natural to man made.
oh, and srikamaraja.... what exactly is that in your profile pic in front of that coral (the pink thing), it kind looks like...er... nevermind

Yes sir, that is my very phallic pink sponge. Porifera are my favorite hitchhikers, I've got purple sponge all over the rest of my rocks...
Recessive genes. Albinism is completely natural. Not a lot of fish express it in the wild and live to any sort of age, though, as it's pretty easy to pick out an albino.
