Yeah glass fish are see through. Very Cool, had them before. You may see the colored glass fish, DO NOT BUY THEM. They inject the fish with a harmfull chemical to make them a flouresent color. The ones you see in stores are ones of the rare surviors ( about 1 out of 1000 live, after being injected) but still are probably going to die shortly or are very weak. I think it is a real shame that they do such a cruel thing

Dyed and tattooed fish are just plain cruel....but genetically engineering see thru is ok I suppose, tho I hope it doesn't make them more susceptable to thie cancers they're talking about studying. I heasrd something about that in frogs a while back, I think it was on here

I 100% agree with you.

Sounds like they're doing for research only - not for retail.
