Glowfish are genetically modified organisms that have been engineered to express fluorescent proteins, originally derived from jellyfish and certain coral species. These proteins emit bright colors under ultraviolet light, allowing the fish to glow. The process involves inserting specific genes into the fish's DNA, which can be done using techniques like microinjection or viral vectors. As a result, these fish exhibit vivid colors that are both visually striking and popular in the aquarium trade.
