Saw this in Yahoo today:

As much as I have to admit that it looks cool, I am worried about the fact that this might get into the local lakes and waters (i.e. snakehead and big head carp).

John: Dang, for a genetic engineered fish, those are FREAKING EXPENSIVE (cost more than yellow tang).
If an Oscar eats them, I wonder if the Oscar will glow too :bigsmile:

Bad idea, some people need to leave nature alone. Nothing good has ever come from it, even in the movies it dosnt work! PLus I think those fish could be from Japan??

Without going into a major rant, if you stuck by that principle, you likely would have to change almost everything you eat and use

Thats my point, I dont eat hormone injected farm animals or "Round Up Safe" crops. I have a full freezer of meat I killed myself in the wild and get my vegs from the garden. Its not easy! Everyone has there own choice to make, but at the end of the day its better for you

Quite difficult to do that The idea is good but I don't think I could ever go to that end (too much work lol). Curios, do you take modern medications and vaccinations?

It is alot of work! In regards to meds, I dont take or get anything unless its life threating and no vaccinations for me. I cant always follow my own rules but I try.

It's a tough line, that's why I asked Fortunately, where I'm at, fresh organic, free range, heritage etc etc food is really easy to get. Unfortunately...it can be a little pricey

I am all for it. Go science!
