Just seen this segment on Dateline bout house scientists hav genetically altered the DNA of Atlantic Salmon to grow 3 times as fast, and larger, calling them Superfish. Started thinking bout a FW aqauariun fish that b cool to DNA alter like the salmon. My first Pic would b datnoids and Bichir...
What fish u guys think b good candidates too turn into 'superfish'?

I prefer the natural order of things when it comes to stuff like this, us humans messed with nature enough that by now we should know better :)

Why is that? Is there some kind of rule somewhere or did you just read this on the web? "Bob's shorter life" @ Bob's garage dot com :screwy:

This is a rule because a faster metabolism and heartbeat lets the body grow older quickly. Just compare a mouse which will get a few years old to a 100 year old tortoise.

Ahhh so it's the heartbeat rule, got cha........

I vote when we alter the DNA to make the fish larger we disregard the heartbeat rule altogether. What the heck right? Also glow in the dark fish would be cool!

Edit: I know there's glow in the dark fish but I want to alter a clown loach to grow faster, larger, no heartbeat rule, and glow in the dark :popcorn:
 
I got it! make parachromis managuensis twice the size!

Also they can breathe air and speak with a french accent but only in a very condescending tone.
