You're up Norton

 

[nortonmad213]

how is a glowlight danio different from a leopard danio.
a simple one because i've drawn a blank

 

[nortonmad213]

not glowlight stupid autocorrect, "glodanio" it was supposed to be

 

[TallTree01]

Leopard danios are legal to keep in Australia.
Not what you were looking for but I am right.

 

[nortonmad213]

That's not correct. 
 
All of the glofish species of fish, such as zebra danios (or leopard danios, which are a color morph), skirt tetras, or tiger barbs are actually genetically modified. 
 

Where does the fluorescent color come from? The fluorescent color in GloFish is produced by a fluorescent protein gene, which creates the beautiful fluorescence that can be seen when looking at the fish. The fluorescent protein genes are derived from naturally occurring genes found in marine organisms.

I have 3 glofish tetra--very active little fishies--they're genetically modified

 

[TallTree01]

Widely distributed across much of Africa, these fish are fierce predators with large, razor-sharp teeth. They often hunt in packs and occasionally eat large animals. Attacks on human beings are rare but not unheard of.

The two largest species are the hydrocynus goliath and the Hydrocynus vittatus. Both are prized as game fish. The goliath which can reach sizes up to 110 pounds (50 kg), is found in the Congo River and Lake Tanganyika. The vittatus can weigh up to 33 pounds (15 kg) and is found in the Zambezi River system.

[TallTree01]

I feel as though you have a lot of time on your hands.

Its ok norton.  Its a common misconception, so its possible your source was incorrect about it.  There ARE some dye injected fish.  There are also some 'painted' fish.  Glofish just don't happen to be... they are now bred exactly the same as their 'parent' species, as their genes carry the information and would be passed down from generation to generation.  There are some ethical considerations that some have against them, BUT they are a very different thing from the dye injected or painted fish.  There is NOTHING redeeming about that action.  The genetic engineering thing is something that can at least be debated and there can be points made on both sides of the argument.

Tiger Fish---
 
is correct
 
now I have to think up a question
 
I am a member of the mollusc family.   I do not have an internal or an external exoskeleton.    You will find me on the ocean floor and I like coral reef areas.  I have a venomous defense. I am considered one of the most intelligent invertebrates.   I rely on camouflage where my skin can change visible color to hide from my enemies.   The largest type of this species weighs an average of 33 lbs and spans 14 feet.   The largest ever found   weighed in at 600 lbs and spanned 30 feet.
