RE: [GSAS-Member] Genetically altered ornamental fish

["Sanford, Dave LHS-STAFF" <Sanfordd@issaquah.wednet.edu>]

1)       Have you seen these "Glow-in-the-Dark" fish for sale locally - if
so, WHERE?
Yes, the Fish Gallery 
2)       Have you seen them for sale via mail-order - if so, WHERE?no

3)       What was your INITIAL opinion on the issue? I think they are cool.

4)       Has your opinion changed over time?no

5)       Would you buy and keep these fish?yes

6)       Do you currently have (or have you ever had) these fish in your
tanks?  I kept them in a tank at school.

 
 These fish don't glow in the dark! They are fluorescent, which means that
they radiate light of a specific wavelength (red) as long as they are being
illuminated with light of sufficient energy. (White or even uv). I don't
have any problem with them being produced or sold. I prefer the "wild" type
of most fish but can enjoy bettas, angels, guppies, platties etc.  I
seriously doubt that they pose a theat to the natural populations of zebra
danios in asia.(at least those sold in north america).
