Cute and weird all at the same time.I thought - why is someone wasting time on 
this? But then is time really ever wasted when anything is learned? I have no 
problem (never had) with genetically alteration - I see no difference between 
it and selective breeding - And I am with the guy who was against parrot 
Cichlids - Well not about the cichlids I don't mind them - But those weird 
eyed Gold fish?! Now that is an abomination!! They should not be released in 
the wild but then my angelfish and guppies (all hybrid ) should not be 
either.

Maybe - given an endless supply of room and tanks and time - I already have 
many "natural" species on my list. These just are not that interesting to me. 
Now if they actually glowed in the dark - maybe a small tank as a night 
light? :-)
