Not to my liking, but thought some Angel lovers on here might be interested.

I wish people would quit messing with fish. Why change such a beautiful fish, and make it bright pink?

Some people like the color pink.

I agree also, although I'm not a big fan - Angels are beautiful fish with out the human meddling. I do think these will fly out of fish stores once in good supply.

I'd prefer to not see this in good supply lol

They prob just color them like they do fruit tetra and colored them. Doubtful they breed that color in.

What do you mean "color them"???

Its actually genetic engineering. The DNA of the angel fish is spliced with a that of jellyfish, specifically a protein that codes for the bioluminescence, and that's what creates the pink, just like in glofish and the new yellow tiger barbs
