From the AP link at the NY Times:

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- The nation's first genetically altered household
pet -- a fish that glows in the dark -- is set to begin appearing in stores
next month everywhere except perhaps California, the only state with a ban
on lab-engineered species.

On Wednesday, the California Fish and Game Commission is scheduled to take
up an application from Yorktown Technologies of Austin, Texas, to market
the GloFish in California.




How long before these show up in Bait Shops??

Or hooked on the end of your line ?



That WILL happen in the near future.

For me this is one of the strongest arguments for the support of
native/indigenous fishes.

More to the point, how long before these show up in the wild?

My guess is that they will have no chance in the wild. Kind of like the
whet squirrels we had in our neighborhood a few years ago - the hawks made
short work on them when spring hit. I can imagine one of them sitting up in
the branches thinking he was invisible, and then *swoop*!
