Re: [Killietalk] Glofish

I really dont get what's the big deal with these Glofish, sterile or
not..... if you think you are going to make millions trying to breed
these fish and selling them to local pet shops.... just think back a few
years when Praecox Rainbow fish were all the hoot.... then the Redtail
Columbian Tetras....   all are common staples in the fish hobby and are
just as cheap now as other tropicals...

What really disturbs me is... this past week i visited a local pet shop
and saw balloon Belly Florida Flagfish.   I dont know how they did it,
but they were balloon bellied fish... maybe they were runts or misformed
fish.. but they were large enough sized fish to be of breeding size and
they were in the same tank as regular flagfish.... sort of got me ticked
off.... But if they sell, i cant really say anything but just decide to
NOT buy any....
