The GloFish is a patented and trademarked brand of fluorescently colored genetically modified aquarium fish.They have been created from several different species of fish: zebrafish were the first GloFish available in pet stores, and recently the black tetra, tiger barb, [1] rainbow shark, Siamese fighting fish, X-ray tetra, and most recently bronze corydoras [2] have been added to the lineup.
Hemigrammus erythrozonus, commonly known as the glowlight tetra, is a small tropical fish from the Essequibo River, Guyana, South America.It is silver in colour and a bright iridescent orange to red stripe extends from the snout to the base of its tail, the front of the dorsal fin being the same color as the stripe.
The anglerfish are fish of the teleost order Lophiiformes (/ ˌ l ɒ f i ɪ ˈ f ɔːr m iː z /). [1] They are bony fish named for their characteristic mode of predation, in which a modified luminescent fin ray (the esca or illicium) acts as a lure for other fish.
Several other transgenic fish show decreased swimming ability, likely due to body shape and muscle structure. [28] Genetically modified triploid fish are more susceptible to temperature stress, have a higher incidence of deformities (e.g. abnormalities in the eye and lower jaw [52]), and are less aggressive than diploids.

One fish has over 700 photophores, each about a millimeter wide. They contain luciferin. Norepinephrine activates them, producing a distinct fluorescent green glow. [19] The fish is only luminescent during courtship. [20] It may however, play a role in predator avoidance and potentially attracting prey, as well.

Foxfire in the fungus Panellus stipticus Blue ocean glow caused by myriad tiny organisms, such as Noctiluca. Noctiluca scintillans, a bioluminescent dinoflagellate. Bioluminescence is the production of light by living organisms. This list of bioluminescent organisms is organized by the environment, covering terrestrial, marine, and microorganisms.
