Glofish are genetically engineered.... they have some coral genes in them... don't they?


But, because they are engineered, I view them as better than injected fish... I don't believe that it was a painful process for them to go through.

the glass catfish aren't dyed...i've read this is because they're too sensitive to survive it. so, good for them, i guess.

Someone should tell one of the stores around here that! lol. They've had painted glass CATfish in a few times.

Really is a shame imo just because they're so cool looking naturally...
 
wow, i've always read they couldn't survive the dyeing process. i've never kept these guys, always wanted to, but held off because i knew i'd have to buy *at least* 5 of them (the cheapest i've seen them is like 5 bucks around here, so it's not a cheap add!). add that to general reports that these fish are often finicky with water quality and such...

that said, i can't imagine a dyed glass cat would last very long.
 
I never said that they lasted long;) Just that they sell them and that they stay alive long enough for them to make a buck on;)
