Glo-Fish = Danios

California game and fish has very strict rules about what types of fish are legal. Fear of ecological damage I think.

And about the recessive gene issue, when the fish is altered, both sets of genes in both parents can be spliced, passing that gene 100% of the time and expressed 100% of the time, because it's the only "type" of that gene available.

Scientist are now testing the genes of jellyfish among other animals such as pigs now!

The first Glo Fish were injected with the Jellyfish Gene that makes them Glow, the glo fish we see now day are altered from the original ones as explained.

Has anyone noticed that they call them Glo-Light Tetras instead of Glo Light Danios?

Actually, glow light tetras are not glofish -- they really are tetras
