Altered fish

[DizzyDezzy]

please don't yell at me...
but.. I think it is quite cool. It doesn't really harm the fish like injecting it with dye would...

I am totally againt the idea of injecting dyes into fish and creating mutations such as flowerhorns etc etc. But if these colors are done naturally thru selective breeding I see nothing wrong with it. As long as absolutly no harm is done to the fish. Some may not know this but angels are modified also. You wont find marbles, koi, blacks and such in the wild. All these are originated from the wild silver.

I am interested to know how many fish died while in the developmental stage. Death for money. Sounds about right in todays world.

>>> these colors are done naturally thru selective breeding

In the case of these glow in the dark fish, it was done using recombinant DNA technology, (gene splicing), to introduce genes from other animals into the fish, in this case, DNA from a jellyfish IIRC.
