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
