Dumb question-GFP?

[DeCypher]

Another stupid question by me (and many more to come! ) Today I was looking at leucistic axolotl sales and it said "GFP". What's that? I am assuming it may be "Guaranteed Free of Pigments" but I am not completely sure...

GFP is green fluorescing protein. Basically, years ago, someone spliced a jellyfish gene in with axolotls, and now we have GFP axolotls, which glow green under a blacklight.
