Those "red" zebra danios are the side product of a genetics experiment where they performed a genetic recombination to insert a bioluminescent gene from a jellyfish into the danios. They are used in genetics experiments and have only recently entered the pet trade. That is why they suddenly appeared out of nowhere. They are supposed to be patented and all reproduction is illegal under biological patent law. Don't think that is gonna work though, now that they have gone public. If you breed em just be very careful where you try to sell them. I am not making this up, they were originally patented as glofish. How much did you pay for yours? They were kinda expensive.

Bahamut,
The bioluminescent ones you are referring to are different from the red ones posted here. The ones you are referring to only show their coloring under a blacklight. These are red no matter what light you use.
The bioluminescent ones have been for sale around here locally for some time now (at a price tag of $7 per fish). They only look good under blacklight though. Without it, they look white.
