    Hi guys,

    i personally think that this is a good thing, i fully understand anyones opinion that this creatre is an abomination.

    but in a 'logical sense' gm fish will reduce the ammount of animal cruelty due to dipping and dyeing because its more commercially viable

    besides its human nature to ruin nature

    several ways generally the spice in a gene from another species into the embryo of an anglefish.

    these fish are beyond GM they are true transgenic having DNA from entirly diffrent species

    think these pink angels are fish from Taiwan, the same fish farm that developed the Glow in the dark angelfish. I think the glow feature was achieved via splicing a jellyfish gene. The Glow gene was developed in much the same way as the pink variant, using the same base fish, were they bred into the host fish no pigment at all and basically transparent. From then they did their magic. A fish without any pigment is the same as using a fresh canvass for a painter. You then have full control of your desired outcome. One would think if they can do pink pigment from some unknown host gene and have the ability to make them glow from a splicing of a gene from a glowing jelly fish, then any colour is possible, they just have to find a host that will express the desired colour and splice that gene into the embryo of the non pigment angelfish recipient

    Much as I like them (second version), methinks the cost would be way outside the reach of the average aquarist.

    Any ideas what prices such fish command?

    Cheers,
