Hahahaha! BBC is a reliable source apparently!

I would trust the BBC over The Sun news any day

I can't say I agree with modifying these guys.

It looks like your local newspaper has finally caught up with the hobby. So called glowfish are genetically modified zebra danios that have a bit of jellyfish DNA in them. They breed true so the genes are getting passed along. These have been available in the US for at least 5 years now. They were originally developed, as stated in your out of date paper, to monitor water quality. They were made available to hobbyists because people thought they might be of interest and provide the original developers with a profit. They were right.

If you had read it, you would see they have purportedly been created in a british lab very recently. Not old news from across the pond, a new study, from here..... Im also quite sure that some strains of "Glo Fish" arent legal in the UK, so to produce them for profit here would be a pointless excersise, as the whole thing is anyway. (Refers back to previous post above..)
