breeding glo-fish for personal feeders

[Toby_H]

Certainly makes me think it's only illegal to sell them under the name Glo-Fish. If nation-wide wholesalers offer them below cost and under different names, they'd pretty much HAVE to be legal. I can't see huge wholesalers like that slipping through the cracks when all it takes is for one price list to be forwarded to the Glo-Fish company and they'd be screwed.

Exactly the logic I was using...

I wasn't able to learn much about the definition of the patent that exists on them... in regazrds to what legal limitations it puts on breeding/distributing them un der different names...

here is there fact page with lic. and patent numbers supposedly if it was breed from a glofish originaly no matter the name of the ofspring you cant sell http://www.glofish.com/license.html

if you breed them they will come out to be zebra danios. To becomeglow fish they are injected with a chemical from coral and/or jelly fish. To inject them would probly be illegal because i'm pretty sure the process is patent. Sorry!

they breed true the original parents were genetically modified with the dna it passes on to the young each fish is not injected

I've only heard of them being sterile. I've kept them too (they were a gift).

Oh please, do some research man. To think you were the one that was complaining about people not leaving right answersand then you post this crap.

I have heard about the people found few pink fry in their glo-fish tank and I have seen the home-bred glofish that has long fins and has leopard patterns...so they are not sterile.

so if you were going to do this how would it be done? I work at a petsmart and there is a glofish in there that I am pretty sure is about ready to lay eggs. So if I wanted her to continue to breed would I just pick her up and any other male in the tank and it's likely to happen or what? Glofish for feeders would be amazing!

since all my monster are nocturnal i think this sound pretty cool any try breading these fish for feeding? im going to give it a try when ever i got enoug money for 2 males and 6 females

i mean i heard these things are like rabbits...

i heard breeding is illegal if i want to sell them

True, but the genetics get screwed up in the young and said young end up in three scenarios

1: no gene (1/4) : fish looks like a normal zebra danio
2: Right amount (1/2) :Fish turns out nicely
3: too much (1/4) : Fish Dies.
