Glofish Available In Uk

Are the GM danios available here in the UK? Glofish danios? Just wondering as we were discussing GM pets at uni the other day.

Last time I checked they were not licensed for sale here.

I don't think they are available yet, and I can't see DEFRA allowing them ever.

No - they're illegal.

Good!

Please note that the GloFish® fluorescent fish are currently available for purchase only within the United States. At present, we have no plans to ship our fish to other countries, but we will be sure to update this web page if this status changes.

Thanks guys. They came up in discussion at uni and I wasn't sure if they were available in the UK. I'd seen pics of them on here but they must have been people from the US. Thanks.

They were for sale recently at a shop near me called nautilus aquatics in wakefield, luminous pink danios they were 7pound odd each and they looked a bit thin so i didn't bother getting any. Look up the number and phone to see if they are getting more in. This shop also sells dyed fish but they looked just like the glow fish of the net so i'm pretty sure they aren't just pink danios.

It's possible they are, what with not being sterile it wouldn't suprise me if some fish farms have taken to breeding them.
