Glo-fish is an innovatively named company that sells transgenic flourescent zebrafish. These fish were originally developed to act Pollution Indicators. Add that to your list of wierd things that can be bought on the internet.
BTW, ordinary zebrafish are work-fish of the developmental biology world. Its used as a 'model organism', as it is mostly transparent throughout its development making it ideal for genetic studies that affect cellular and tissue structure.
