Glow in the dark fish!?

I found this today looking at a fish web site then I did some hunting and found a story on it. www.wndu.com/news/ 012004/news_23461.php

 

The link isn't working, but if you're talking about the zebra danios, those have been available for about a year at least.

i didnt know that zebra danios arent that old

 

No, zebra danios have been around for a long time. I was talking about the zebra danios that have been altered to glow in the dark.

crazy, its cool lokcing but i would kinda want nature to do its thing

 

I just hope the zebra danios with glowing won't have anything to do with dyeing... :?

 

it sounds like dying to me

 

They're not dyed, they're genetically altered.

Personally, I would never buy one. I think it's awful that naturally pretty fish aren't good enough.

Yeah

 

they were gentically altered by scientists to study some waterways and the pollution in them.

 

I Have 3 zebra danio's and they never glow??

 

they are probaly the normal ones.

 

The glowing ones are reddish, like they've been dipped in kool-aid.

OoOoOoO ok, yeah mine are a blue color. and also they said in the artical they where about $5 and mine where a steal for 79 cents lol.

 

i feed zebra danios to my snake and it is like 49 cents each
