Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I had three glofish in my old 5 gallon tank. They seemed fine, until I examined one closely and found that it had gotten misshapen.
I researched glofish and found out that their colors are not naturally occurring. A company injects each fish (which starts out as a zebra danio) with a type of jellyfish protein, creating the bright colors.
I was just wondering what everyone's opinion was of this procedure.
When I found out, I was horrified. While I do think it is a good idea to bring attractive fish to pet stores to entice people into becoming aquarium enthusiasts, I also can't imagine that this process would be anything but invasive and harmful to the fish.
