] Their weird glowing green color makes them look like
] they've been swimming in a nuclear plant's spent fuel
] pond.
]
] But the zebra fish on sale in Taipei shops have an even
] stranger background: They're the latest in genetically
] modified fish, and their bodies contain DNA from
] jellyfish, which makes them shimmer in the dark.

Includes a cool picture of these genetically engineered fish:) I want some!!

] Shopkeepers call them "Night Pearls." Some have nicknamed

] Taikong Corp. use the less catchy name of "TK-1" and say
] they are the world's first genetically engineered
] fluorescent fish.
]
] They have been on the market in Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong
] and Malaysia for about three months, said Bill Kuo, a
] spokesman for Taikong, which owns a chain of pet stores.
]
] Now the fish are getting ready to cross the Pacific and
] swim into the U.S. market this month.
