apparantly taiwan is actually selling them.I managed to get some off a supplier in Malaysia to actually see what they will become.
They are swimming in my planted tank.Seems the colours are very brilliant!
Where do you discover it? One of the fish farms @ Seletar farmway where the owner shared his compound with a Discus breeder?

Never create what you can't control
FYI, Danios aren't characins but cyprinids.

As far as I know, GM (genetically modified) fishes are not approved by AVA to be sold in Singapore.
They are outlawed in the UK, and keeping them in UK aren't legal.
oh.. thanks for the insight.. i had no idea they were genetically processed..
any recommendations what i should be doing next as they are already in my tank?
i actually intend to add in approximately 30 Galaxy to the population of 20 danios that i have.. It's a planted tank though...

Well, from the colours, they look highly suspicious, but can't be really sure that these are GM. Since it is not confirmed, keep them as you would, like any Danios, they would do well with Celestichthys margaritatus. However, never never release them in the wild.
