RE: [GSAS-Member] Genetically altered ornamental fish






1)       Have you seen these "Glow-in-the-Dark" fish for sale locally - if
so, WHERE?
In shops in NJ last year. Not locally here

2)       Have you seen them for sale via mail-order - if so, WHERE?
No

3)       What was your INITIAL opinion on the issue?
No problem with it at all -> much better than injecting fish, probably the fish will be much longer lived too.

4)       Has your opinion changed over time?
I thought they were neat and interesting, but as I remember, they were really pricey (like $10/fish)

5)       Would you buy and keep these fish?
I don't particularly care for zebra danios, glowing, long finned or any variety, so No, but I have no problem if the fish becomes someone's intro into the aquarium hobby. We need more hobbyists.

I do draw the line at the hideous 'parrot cichlid' mutants though. *That's* a revolting abomination and should be eradicated. But, I guess that fish was a forced hybridization instead of something generated through gene-splicing (though the results are the same.)

6)       Do you currently have (or have you ever had) these fish in your
tanks?

No
