Glofish it is! I am happy as long as i can get him grown haha.. But it will be interesting to see what color he turns out to be! I had one of each color at the time of the spawn.

here is something that a member of our club told me about the glofish..lets say you had some greens...when you breed them ; each successive generation will get a little deeper in color..not all offspring but a percentage of them...those you pull to breed separately....
it will be interesting to see how your little glofish turns out....

Well almost 7 weeks later and the fry is still going strong. He is now almost 2 cm long. Bright pink in color and clearly the offspring of two of my glofish.

I thought glofish were sterile... This is extremely interesting. According to the "creators" of glofish, they are made sterile.

maybe in the beginning they were made to be sterile (radiation or whatever) but that ended quickly...a few folks in our club here have been breeding them for a number of years...
and no it is not illegal to breed and sell them....how else would you find them in all the stores....

Think about that though, technically you could do this with any animal. If you wanted a pink elephant that produced more pink elephants, no problem!

I remember reading that as well when i did research to find out more about them. But as John said

this would only be possible if they could reproduce. Plus, I'm sure they say that so people don't attempt to spawn their glofish since this would take away from their profits.

It was very cool to watch him color up. Going from a translucent little guy to a bright pick. I don't intend to get the glofish/danios to spawn again, but if they do on their own, I will be happy to raise what ever fry I find. But this goes along with all my other fish as well (except my swords, I have a special project going on with them  )

They are intended to be sterile. Obviously it doesn't work on all of them or the damage is undone. Yes it is illegal to bred/sell them. They are a patented product that cost millions of dollars to produce. The stores have them because of licensed distribution. The risk of being caught/charged is quite low but it is there, the fines are very high and in the extreme could be over $1,000,000 plus jail time.
Basically it's like pirating music, but in addition to interfering with a company's income you are also reproducing a trade secret. Numerous people that tried to mass breed these shortly after becoming available were charged and basically left penniless.

That's cool that you bred glofish! I had a group of the pink glofish once.

It's legal to breed/raise them, but not to sell them.
