Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

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.

Where did you get your information on them? I would be interested to read up on them a little further.
I paid $2.50 each for the ones I got. It was quite a deal compaired to my local pet store who's selling them for $9.99 each.

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.

Thanks for the clarification, Steve. I was starting to wonder if he was talking about a diffrent fish. I went and got a black light and tried it on the red danios just to check. The black light does make them look quite interesting but it doesn't make them glow.
