thats pretty cool bet you they cost a pretty penny tho, and at least they aren't dyed so it isn't really that bad in my opinion

hmmm

http://www.glofish.com

kindof a bias site though...being the company that makes them!
i think this is an incredibly dangerous concept, given the massive amount of stoopid people out there who somehow consider fish as less of a lifeform than other pets and therefore feel that its ok to treat them like c*#@p and flush down sewerage, and chuck into local drains/river systems.just because these fish geting out(and surviving) in the wild is improbable, doesnt mean its impossible !!!
and what about crossbreeding with regular zebra dannio? in another hundred years we may not have a pure strain left...will crossbreeds show the glow..or just carry it? ..already there are some fish kinda lost to the aquarium trade because of crossbreeding, and these were natural types
it kinda feels like monsanto soy all over again...where they say it wont get out, then when it did they tried to charge the farmers because they had patented the genetic fingerprint...
worrying, incredibly worrying

and they are NOT sterile

I think I've seen those at the Newport Aquarium in Kentucky/Cincinnati. Are you guys saying these fish glow because they were bred like taht? I thought they were natural...

nope genetically modified, process patented

I seen some of them tonight at walmart - they had a tank of at least 75-100 of them.; I was like WTF are those. I hadnt heard of them and assumed they had been dyed.

Why would they be more likely to do that with $5 glo fish than with their $1 natural danio?
