- FunkadelicFresh, on 09/16/2008, -0/+30"can be seen when looking through a red filter...The fish appears a dull grey color under natural light"
Not as interesting as I first thought... - RevAradia, on 09/16/2008, -0/+23Wow. Awesome looking fish. I'd love to have an aquarium with that in it.
- SkippyDoorknob, on 09/16/2008, -0/+18I look red if you look at me through a red filter.
- ippey, on 09/16/2008, -0/+16Undersea raves ensue.
- mbm985, on 09/16/2008, -0/+15Makes sense, a glowing red fish in the Red Sea.
- DinosWillDie13, on 09/16/2008, -1/+15Pretty rad. Seems like at that depth a fish would want to use the light energy for other purposes than re-emitting it though.
- Asianwaste, on 09/16/2008, -1/+10They can, you just need to reach a power level of over 9000 and become a Super Sayan.
- Br3ach, on 09/16/2008, -0/+8"Another new discovery of a mysterious underwater sound vibration that sounds like 'Unss Unss Unss Unss' "
- masoncon, on 09/16/2008, -0/+8I concur. Are we missing something?
- AmyVernon, on 09/16/2008, -1/+7Hot damn. There are some funky creatures in the deep sea.
- Biosfear01, on 09/16/2008, -0/+6its not a tuna!
- macattak420, on 09/16/2008, -0/+6the best place to put that fish would be in the tank of fish that all evil villains have. James bond would be a perfect example they should do that for the next movie.
- BrettFromTibet, on 09/16/2008, -0/+6Cute little feller..
- leerayIG88, on 09/16/2008, -0/+5I don't understand...how come people don't glow?
- RoboRay, on 09/17/2008, -0/+5Doesn't pretty much everything appear red when looking through a red filter?
- Brododium, on 09/16/2008, -0/+4http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GloFish
Other people have had that idea, different species, I know.
They're genetically enginered to glow, plus I add the note that I hate them, I think they're tacky and detract from the natural beauty of an aquarium.
Some people like their fish to be neon and gaudy. - brandonmat, on 09/17/2008, -0/+4It also change colours! All you have to do is change the colour of the filter. Fascinating. . .
- Lar5, on 09/17/2008, -0/+3Usually 'fluorescence' means the color is only visible under UV light. I think the photo blurb is confused.
- MCA2142, on 09/16/2008, -1/+4is this what they use to make my condoms?
- john1108, on 09/17/2008, -0/+2did u even read the article? or even glance at it?
- Asianwaste, on 09/16/2008, -0/+2Bio Luminescence is something we should have. We probably wouldn't have too many practical uses that technology can't compensate, but damn it's cool looking.
- Velnich, on 09/16/2008, -0/+2Old... or wait, did I see this first on upcom... I spend too much time on digg. :-(
- impedance101, on 09/17/2008, -0/+2Red fish in the Red Sea
- john1108, on 09/17/2008, -0/+2hide from their enemies by emitting a red glow in an almost pitch black environment?
- drgmdp, on 09/17/2008, -0/+1damn commies they're everywhere
- john1108, on 09/17/2008, -0/+1(Despite the name, jellyfish are not actually fish.)
- crackrockutah, on 09/17/2008, -0/+1"The red glow is likely a form of private communication or an attraction signal, Michiels said, though he doesn't have clear proof yet. Because the light is coming from the fish themselves and not filtering down from the surface, the red glow remains visible at depth and is easily seen at close distances only." I would have to guess that the fish that these mating communication techniques are directed too, are evolutionarily hardwired to see this end of the UV spectrum, while we are not. But yea, man it is a bummer, cause that ***** would be sick to have lighting my room at night....fer sure.
- superiorbeing, on 09/16/2008, -0/+1I need a new nightlight in my fishtank.
- mcse2k3, on 09/16/2008, -1/+2Let people eat that ***** and you'll have a glowing red idiot. Stupid article, there is no glowing red fish.

enjoy! - Laiden, on 09/17/2008, -1/+2Jellies are not fish. Fish need to have vetabrae, jelly-"fish" do not.
- ShadowFoxxx, on 09/17/2008, -0/+1Bioluminescence = Nature's lightbulb.
I hardly see red luminescence anymore; mostly blue-green to green to light-blue. Most of those who live thousands of feet below the oceans surface except for the few handful (mostly cuddlefish or squid) that rise to the surface at nighttime to breed. Compared to those deep sea fish, such as the angler fish or even tiny plankton.
But I prefer the jellyfish: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnStTpupI2s&feature ...
The only way I can see humans having bioluminescence is if we lived in a pitch-black environment for a couple million years and we might evolve something. Or if we start off living in a dark environment; it would be damn cool to have! - Oea420, on 09/17/2008, -0/+1Hey! I was reading that and was thinking my 3 year old nephew would love an aquarium with some of these... then
"As of January 2007, sale or possession of GloFish is illegal in California due to a regulation that restricts all genetically modified fish. The regulation was implemented before the marketing of GloFish, largely due to concern about a fast-growing biotech Salmon. Although the Fish and Game Commission declined to grant an exception (solely on ethical grounds) in December 2003, it later reversed course and decided to move forward with the process of exempting GloFish from the regulation. However, due to the State’s interpretation of the California Environmental Quality Act, Yorktown Technologies was informed by State attorneys that it would first need to complete an extremely expensive study, which could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and take years to complete. According to the company’s web site, they have thus far declined to undertake this study. [4]"
WTF >:( - tod07, on 09/16/2008, -1/+1Get ready for it to crash. O i guess not.
- SkinnyPuppy, on 09/17/2008, -1/+1They do it to hide from there enemies, or sneak up on their prey.
- luap119, on 09/16/2008, -1/+1Too bad it actually is a dull gray without anything "added"
- NuclearIsShit, on 09/17/2008, -1/+1Red is the best
- Samsong, on 09/17/2008, -2/+1The ones you never get to use?
- Eugenitor, on 09/16/2008, -3/+1First fluorescent fish found? Maybe. But it's been long known that deep-water jellies do this.
In deep water, the only way to get light is to make it yourself. - elliott9, on 09/17/2008, -4/+2pic or it didn't happen
- oilcan, on 09/17/2008, -4/+0Hey ya know I look kinda red under a red light too, does that make me a special discovery?!?
- inactive, on 09/16/2008, -7/+2Wait, I'm confused.
How does this relate to Obama being Jesus or Palin being Satan re-incarnated? I don't get it. - thespi007, on 09/16/2008, -11/+6my fish is red too !!! partly because my cat slashed the ***** out of it but eh ... oh wait let me try putting some glow in the dark ink on it
- liljay2k, on 09/16/2008, -9/+2Tuna!
