  23. Re:Happy fish have baby fish on Glowing Fish are First Genetically Engineered Pets · · Score: 1
    Zebra fish are difficult, but not impossible for the hobbyist to breed, what happens then? Since the fish is covered by patent, what happens to the next generations? Are aquarists going to fall into the same trap as farmers, where they can't replant patented products?
    This will be considered intelectual theft, just like copying music!
  24. We need an open-source glowing fish!! on Glowing Fish are First Genetically Engineered Pets · · Score: 2, Interesting
    from the site:

    Because fluorescent fish are unique, their sale is covered by a substantial number of patents and pending patent applications.

    The production of fluorescent fish by any other party, or the sale of any fluorescent fish not originally distributed by 5-D Tropical or Segrest Farms, is strictly prohibited.
