Actually, it seems what I read about was a different project. Here is the clip from November 17, 2003 TIME:

RED FISH, BLUE FISH, GLOW-IN-THE-DARK FISH

Want to add some pizazz to your aquarium? A Taiwanese scientist has devised a way to make otherwise colorless fish glow neon green in the dark. Professor H.J. Tsai at National Taiwan University works this biological magic by injecting a protein extracted from jellyfish into the fertilized eggs of rice fish. He also uses a protein from coral to make the fish glow a vibrant reddish pink. Opponents of genetic engineering fear that these creatures could be crossbred with wild species, creating a glowing school of Frankenfish. To keep them from spreading their glowing DNA,the distributor, Taikong International, sterilizes them all.
