breeding glo fish question...

I KNOW THAT BREEDING GLO FISH IS ILLEGAL! BUT i read on the glo fish website that it is perfectly legal to breed them for educational purposes, and this is for a school project. All the fish in this project will not be harmed. I am simply breeding them. ANYWAYS wont the glo fish babies just be regular zebra danios? If that is the case then wouldn't it be perfectly legal to sell the babies? thanks for your help!

from what i have read....if you breed 2 glofish they WILL reproduce more baby glofish and not zebra danios.

dont know how reputable this site is but here you go...
Glofish (Glowfish) - Genetically Modified Zebra danios

found this too...


Why are GloFish™ the only fluorescent fish that can be sold in the United States?
Because fluorescent fish are unique, their sale is covered by a substantial number of patents and pending patent applications. The providers of GloFish™ fluorescent fish are the only distributors that have the necessary licenses to produce and market fluorescent fish within the United States. The production of fish by any other party, or the sale of any fluorescent fish not originally distributed by authorized providers, is prohibited

glofish are illegal to breed?

Just don't go selling them all over the place. They just don't wanna lose any profits from fish stores selling their creation. Are you supposed to go spay and neuter your fish so they don't breed by accident??....I don't think so.
It's almost like trying to patent a Mule or something. Which is also laughable.

Can you even imagine having your house raided by S.W.A.T. teams over some little fishies? hahaha I laugh just thinking about it.

Breed away! just don't sell them or give em away on some street corner!

Well, I don't have glofish b/c I don't support genetically modifying fish, but they do look kind of cool. I just wish the name didn't sound so much like a product and more like a real fish. Maybe flourescent danio?

From what I found it's not illegal to breed them...

It only illegal when you sale, barter, or trade them.

Giving them away free was not stated on the GloFish website.

From what I read.

Just don't bother with it. I used to keep them and I just let them eat the eggs and fry. If one showed up as a larger fish with color I just grew it out and let it live in the school of other fish. All the fry are flourescent because the gene is modified, they aren't like dyed fish.
