Nasty Genetics

I was just watching Animal Planet and on 1 of the shows they were interviewing a scientist who breeds fish crossed with jellyfish. And in Japan they are breeding glow-in-the-dark fish. They haven't hit the US yet but I know that MFK is in Asia and other places as well.

What hasn't hit the U.S yet? GloFish are genetically modified with a jellyfish gene so they appear to glow.

Those things are pretty cool. They would make for an interesting wimp tank.

I've seen the glowlight danios, theyre pretty neat even in the light. I just wont buy a fish that has a patent on it, I think that is insane.

Not nearly the first or last time humans have tampered with nature.

Isn't fish keeping in general tampering with nature?
