And: Raver fish!!

Genetically modified fish as pets

A tropical fish genetically modified to glow in the dark went on sale in Taiwan in 2003 for about $17 each. A different variety of zebrafish, called "GloFish," which were created in Singapore, reached the United States market in January 2004. The distributor says that GloFish were originally developed to fluoresce only in the presence of pollutants, but that is not the form in which they are being sold. They cost about $5 each, and are intended to live in aquariums, but can breed and, in the right conditions, live in the wild.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the sale without ceremony. A coalition led by the Center for Food Safety filed suit against the decision, but sales went ahead. In California, the Fish and Game Commission initially banned the fish but later agreed to hold hearings at the request of the distributor.

Zebra fish are the type of fish that they make flouresce. Their entire genetic sequence is known, which is one of the reasons they're used in labs. They've been using them in labs for at least a couple of decades. There are frogs at Amphibaville at the Detroit Zoo that were bred to be albino, but they also have the flourescing protein in them. You should check them out. They're so cool. They do it for research purposes. They've also done it to pigs and mice. They use flourescing all the time to track proteins in cell cultures. It's a green flourescent protein from a jellyfish. The science people call it GFP. My husband's used the protein in cell cultures before.

What's better than raver fish? Raver pigs of course! Not sure if the bacon would glow though.
