Picture of the day [September 26]

This is the first fish that was made glowing. This red Zebrafish has a built-in "glow-gene", he was created by scientists in Singapore. The gene was borrowed from the genetic code of cartain kinds of jelly fish for example. You can see this swimming lamp at the exhibition of hte National Science Week in Bangkok.

I want an aquarium full.

godoncrack · 26th September 2003, 21:37

I accept cash, credit, and body parts.
Now, how many is an aquarium full for you?

psyfive · 26th September 2003, 21:41

that would be sweet to have a school of those.

if your power goes out you can use them to light your frontroom.. heh.

my son Felipe likes fish and me a lot I am always behind new species for him, but my smaller daughter Carolina already killed 2 times the fish of the brother's fishbowl she diffused and she emptied I half glaze inside of food for fish of the fishbowl, and my wife killed my older daughter's fish Rafaele she forgot the close fishbowl of the window and he diffused a sun afternoon she died cooked in the water....

UpperKEES · 26th September 2003, 23:13

bored154 · 27th September 2003, 01:22

deathazre · 27th September 2003, 01:39

you know we do have different font sizes here.
1-1/4 inch is my guess

psyfive · 27th September 2003, 01:42

yeah I'd figure it is a little bit bigger than a large minnow.

jakeledel · 27th September 2003, 05:18

that's cool, i wonder if they can do that with other animals....(glowing penis?)

Mr_007 · 27th September 2003, 11:49

hi hi... fish

anubis2003 · 27th September 2003, 14:06

Cool.

eleet-2k2 · 28th September 2003, 01:30

There are fish that are naturally chemiluminescent. That's cool though that they spliced genes together to get a cool fish.

EnDurA · 28th September 2003, 01:53

i thought it was bioluminescent, but owell.

That is a damn cool fish. And its even cooler to know it was made that way.

anubis2003 · 28th September 2003, 04:42

Yeah, chemiluminescent is something different - just checked it on dictionary.com as well.
