Do your fish glow?
 

This is just wild.. I can't wait to see them!
SACRAMENTO, Calif. ? American aquariums could soon be aglow with bright red fluorescent fish, the nation's first genetically altered household pet. Soon other fish could follow, glowing under black light like the colors of a rainbow.

The trademarked GloFish are being sent to selected pet stores in advance of their official Jan. 5 debut ? everywhere except in California, where regulators have banned most uses of such transgenic species for fear they could spread into the wild and harm native populations.

To create the fish, researchers at National University of Singapore spliced a sea anemone gene into what nature intended as a black-and-silver zebra fish, a species common in aquariums around the world. They made a freshwater fish with the bright red color of a tropical saltwater reef dweller. In a dark room under ultraviolet or black light, the fish appear to glow.

I had a scorpion which looked like those fish under a black light, it's how they catch them in the bush.

Originally developed to provide visual markers in the presence of pollution, the scientists wound up with "a breakthrough in the ornamental fish industry,"

Sorta like Viagra, I think it was first developed for hi blood pressure or something....
