| my thoughts on this-
scientist do some strange things for research. many of the results come into the mainstream of our lives. if it wasnt for these experiments where would we be now? i dont want this to become a debate on ethics of experimentation.
as for the painted and dyed fish we all have seen, id rather see a transgenetic fish for sale than these poor fish. ever notice the death rate of dyed skirt tetras. or a tank full of painted glass wrought with lymphcoma? now there are thousands of these fish being killed every day long before they make it to the LFS. the lucky few live and rid themselves of the dye/paint.
as for them makimg it into the local population. i would think that the "glo" would make them an easy mark for predators. or being that the are a tropical fish they will suscumb to the elements as the seasons turn.
i am not an expert by any means on this just my thoughts. feel free to disagree, thats what this is all about. healthy exchange of thoughts.

i say this as my best advice to a beginner. do not,,,and i repeat,,,,,DO NOT look at my tank as an example....i have a well practised eye, decades of experience, and a trunkload of failures to allow me to force the issue and get away with things most cannot~ Quote:
