"Glowfish" Danios

[MN_Rebel]

Lot of people got mixed up with glowlite tetras, glofish and glowlight danios (another natural danio species), I can see why they got the name mixed up.

I like glofish as they look better in my liner pond along with red rosy and mosquitofish. But then i seems i have only pink females and no males. probably because of their price. Saw brown glofish for sale in my lfs few months ago, mostly likely pink x green hybrids. Sometimes my LFS got an odd leopard glofish.

What if you put them on craigslist with an adoption fee?. Technically you are NOT selling them because selling animals isn't allowed there. Adoption fees are allowed.

lol that is true

If they make a GLO DOG, I want a green one.

They DO may GMO puppies that glow in the dark. (search for gmo dog and you will find tons of info, not yet approved for retail but in there fifth gen I think).

The jellyfish dna (which is exactly how danios were modified into 'glo-fish', see the glofish.com website for the explanation of why/how) is what makes glo-fish glow, and is best viewed under a blacklight. Although they are still pretty bright under regular lighting. They can breed with regular danios, and the trait does pass to offspring.
