Pink Danio's

[N0body Of The Goat]

pink danios are real and i have 2 of them and no they are not albino they are actually real here they are like zebra danios but different colours i have also seen other dianos also but i got them in canada at Big Al's.

Holy thread revival, Batman! Welcome back summer 2007...

I have a dozen pink danios in my planted tank. i have watched them and can see that they are regular danios. but they do not glow under a blacklight. i tried it just now (don't ask why i happen to have one) and they don't glow. they definitely are not dyed, i've seen dyed fish. these look completely natural. i would never have bought them if i thought they were dyed. they are a very pinkish cream color. they are not albino, have several of those swimming amongst the jungle of plants. the pink one are very lively and school beautifully. i've been keeping tanks, sea and fresh, for 20 years and these pink danios are one of the coolest looking colorfull comunity fish i've had. ciclids have color close to these but they are too intense. i sure hope these are not unethically manipulated, but GM fish, i agree are not exactly what i consider a crime, but the market i guess will decide what the majority believe. i won't buy outside of my knowledge base again. feeling guilty after reading where they came from.

still a valid topic. from what i read, people assumed they were glofish and they were wrong. so the topic was never resolved right? were you here in 2006? have you just been coming back to this page every day to see if someone posts? i don't get why it is taboo to add new info to a post that people like me still search out to answer questions. are you the troll that lives under this post that comes out to chase people away? is it the edicate of REAL veteran posters to not add to an old thread? is it a rule? what gives with the goofy "its an old thread", replies? i know it's old. i can read like the rest of you, but i still add info to the thread assuming the person before me here has info i don't.

Interesting topic this one. As a scientist you would expect me to come out in favour of these genetically modified fish however they only give rise to lots of ethical questions. Albino and luecostic fish occur naturally without mans interference when 2 ordinary zebra danios breed. Glofish never occur naturally as they have been injected with a gene from a coral. Scientists told us these fish were sterile but they are not, what else have they got wrong?
The real question is 'is this search for ever more colourful and bizarre fish just a symptom of a society that is never content but always searching for something extra'
Personally I prefer the natural zebra danio over glofish any day and dont feel the need to tamper with their natural beauty.

errrrm, have a quick look under the posters avatar and see the word "moderator".....might give you a hint that they aren't a 'troll'.

so what, in your opinion, is the "pink" danio? no one has guessed right on this thread yet. what do you think it is?

Luckytankkeeper, just post a pic of your fish and I'm sure everyone will ID it. It's very hard to ID a fish from someone else's description.
