GloFish

 * Reason:This picture shows an amazing example of genetic manipulation. The picture is high resolution and meets the criteria of a featured picture. Genetic manipulation is a very important topic both in the scientific community and in the popular press.
 * Proposed caption:These zebrafish (Zebra danio) have been genetically modified so that they produce green, orange, or red fluorescent proteins which impart a dramatic neon color to the fish. Although not originally developed for the ornamental fish trade, they are the first genetically modified animals to become publicly available as a pet.

 * Oppose low quality, reproducable and the white parts are really bright (blown highlights i think they are called???) --  Chil dzy  ¤  Ta lk  10:58, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose Uncorrectable quality issues. Photographing subjects in water is tricky as the water and glass your shooting through will diffuse the light and give you a loss of contrast, bluring and those kinds of white blow outs, Don't be put off though, a pic of a GFP fish would be nice for more than a few of the science articles.

 * Oppose, per WikipedianProlific. Unschool 01:13, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose per above. Curious subject, but the quality is under par I'm afraid. --  Chris B •  talk  •  contribs  19:52, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
