tentative release : january 5, 2004
'Originally designed by scientists in Singapore to detect pollution, GloFish grow up from Zebra fish eggs injected with a sea anemone gene that codes for red (Zebra fish are normally black and silver). No one knows whether they'll make a splash with consumers, but the GloFish do have a variety of food safety and conservation groups seeing red. The groups want to block the sale of the "Frankenfish" before, as they see it, a wave of genetic modification overflows American aquariums.'
