That's just wrong! I'm ok with altering fish for science but dying them just for appearence appeal seems wrong. Glofish becoming household fish was just a side effect of scientific studies. Hopefully my lfs still has them when my tank is done its cycle.

i completely agree sberk... its a shame what they do to some animals to cater to the majority of the public

oh i completly agree i think it is wrong to tatoo a fish. i will never buy 1 of those fish, i try to avoid buying anything from there anyways just stopin to check prices on decor and suplies. my 1st thought is WHO thought that thats a good idea and another thought is how bad of a tatto artist do u have to be to become a fish tattoer . i wonder how long the poor thing is out of the water laying on a table probly being sqeezed by there fingers and getting stabed with neddels

Do they actually tattoo them like they do with humans or is it some other process?

[mgamer20o0]

tattoo them like humans with all kinds of things.

[strokinbyeu]

i assume that they do i dought its a genetic thing

Glofish are zebra danios with jellyfish genes spliced in. If you breed them, the fry will exhibit the same color characteristics. Dyed fish don't pass on their colors.
