Natural or Genetically Altered Fish?
I will be the first to admit that I don’t know anything about salt water fish. After looking through the wishlist I have got to ask a question. Are all of the fish in their natural shapes and colors, or has many of them been genetically altered or bred for a specific shape and/or color?
Feldon, if some have been genetically altered or bred for a specific shape and/or color it would be a nice feature to have this annotated next to their name in the wishlist. Thanks. GRH |

All the fish placed on the photo wishlist page are natural fish. Those are the only ones we allow. Nature has some wierd twists at times.

I don't think there has been a significant number of genetically altered saltwater fish.

Didn't some Taiwanese researchers come up with luminescent fish by genetic modification? Aside from deep sea fish, the pinecone fish (I think I have name right - I've seen them at the Baltimore Aquarium) are the only naturally luminescent fish that come to mind.
Sometimes I sits and thinks, sometimes I just sits.
