Ethics of Transgenic Pets

[MarkieJ]

I live in California so we cannot purchase these fish here, or have them shipped to us. That didn't stop me from buying some in Vegas and bringing them home... ;-) They're pretty cool! I setup a 28 gallon bowfront psychedelic tank with glowing plants. Hardy little buggers just like regular zebra danios.

After seeing the extremes of what "man" already does in the fish world; things like piercings on fish, tattooed mollies, blood parrot fish with their tails cut off, fish that have sores from being pierce with a needle to give it the "desired color", genetic engineering doesn't seem that bad.
I have glofish. And as far as my hobby (tropical fish keeping) is concerned, I would much rather see people paying for an animal that hatches from an egg than an animal that is more or less tortured to make it look "cool" enough for people to buy.
