GFP or Non-GFP?

[frogman]

Hey guys,
So what do you prefer or like the best?

 

[Mortimer]

I personally prefer non-GFP.

 

[tigmades]

I also vote non.... it's not natural for them to be all glow-ey - sure, it's pretty, but eh.... they're already so cute without xD

I hate the concept of genetically modifying anything & the image some Frankensteinian freak injecting glowing protein genes into these guys horrifies me

My vote is au naturale non GFP!

I feel the same way, although if one arrived at my door in a fish bag I would love it as much as the others ?

That's so true!
But we'd never even know it was GFP
because I doubt either of us could be bothered subjecting it to uv light anyways lol

So true!

How about that green eye though? Huh?

 

[Bdyoung]

I don't prefer either over each other. Being as the gfp is now a gene and is bred into the next generation offspring I don't see a problem with it.

Didn't think about that ☺

Ya, that is what makes them so pretty. I didn't think people would dislike gfp so much. The only color I would not make gfp is copper. Their too beautiful as they are

I agree. One is not really better than the other, to me at least, but i do find the gfp gene quite fascinating.

I said I prefer non-GFP, and then I turned around and bought a leucistic GFP the next day.

 

[frogman]

How can you resist those little green eyes. Their soooooo cute

 

[paulturner1974]

i think the gfp ones look pretty smart with the green eyes!! but can't get them in the UK

Given the dominance of GFP expression, and how much of a 'cool fad' it is now, I worry that there will be no non-GFP axolotls in 20 years.

I don't know why, but the ones with green eyes always remind me of Podlings from the Dark Crystal. When I looked up the pictures (it's been a while since I've seen it), I'm not quite sure why I make that connection.....haha. It's kind of there....maybe.

I was not expecting that. It actually gave me a mini heart attack ( the picture) XD

 

[Mortimer]

Sorry!

 

[frogman]

Same here. It gave me a nightmare.
