Nope, those are glofish. I'm against them and have signed a few petitions to get them outlawed, but they are still legal here in South Carolina. I just think it's wrong to manipulate mother nature's grand design.
bear in mind that they were not developed for aquarium trade. these GMO fish were sort of a "proof of concept" in labs to see if genes could be spliced into higher organisms to yield an end product. has been done for years with bacteria and yeast (to produce product proteins). they tired with fish to see if a "higher" life form would in fact, be able to produce the product protein of the gene they included(in this case it is the bright coloring from the jellyfish gene..the coloration is, after all, just a protein which was encoded in DNA from the jellyfish gene and is easy to see out-rightly and the scientist dont have to sacrifice the animal to see if they are indeed producing that protein-they can easily see the protein, ie color).
so, once the proof of concept worked, and the gene had been seen to be able to be passed on thru sexual reproduction in the fish(every fish that has this coloration is not made so independently-the gene simply passed to the offspring), somebody in the FISH hobby caught notice and now they are in our shops. it is in NO way harmful to the fish (nor was the introduction of the gene). just gives them a different coloration.
why would scientists do this in the first place? basically, to see if it were possible to splice genes into organisms (mainly people) who LACK a gene for some important protein (such as insulin for diabetics-instead of taking daily injections due to little/no insulin production, just "give" these folks a gene to allow them to produce the insulin themselves, instead of having to take injections and all the side-effects that come along with the disease). there are many other implications to this concept. would also save a lot of animals too such as cows (where most "human" injectable insulin comes from ie, bovine insulin, and these animals are sacrificed for it).
bear in mind i dont fancy them glofish really, but the animal in question has not been tortured nor is it cruel as in say, tattooing or actually dying a fish. these guys MAKE that color as part of their (intorduced) genetic makeup (like humans "make" different eye colors or skin colors-all just protein differences, really).
so the science behind it is actually fascinating. and in the future these little fish are kind of like a flagship for some REALLY helpful therapies for humans/other animals (say a pet cat/dog with diabetes). and the animals werent actually "harmed" in the process-unlike some methods of testing for various medical things.
i dont think it is "wrong" to sell them or keep them. just my 2 cents on the subject.
cheers

. We are influencing these changes. 
It's just being a geneticist student I hear from quite a few people how genetically modifying or altering ANYTHING is wrong and bad. And they come up with some fntastic reasons why (normally they refer to zombie films like I am legend! Lol)
