    Dyed or Injected?
    If so no worthy TASA member will part with this information.
    It is an unspoken rule.
    We are agains such practises.

    Wow! Really interesting concept! They don't seem to be available anywhere other than USA though.

    These are genetically modified fish. So as far as I can tell the "glo" is genetic.

    I have seen the pink ones and they just look very unnatural

    These might come in soon. What is TASA's stand point on this?

    I've got some of the pink ones and they get along great with normal silver danios. They add a nice burst of colour to the top water in the tank, and really do glow under blue LED lighting.

    If the are not harmed to get these colours with the genetic modification then it would not be a problem and maybe they will sell more than the dyed ones so the ignorant lfs will keep these and stop selling the dyed fishes, do not like it as its looks unnatural.

    I think there is no problem with fish. GOD has good reason for people made ​​something new idea to make. I was born deaf and GOD has made ​​people also idea for something better to hear. Now I find Cochlear implant.

    Yes it is not natural but it is interesting or cool.
