I got this info from "http://www.glofish.com/faq.asp#TheScienceofGloFish" Where does the fluorescent color come from?
The fluorescent color in our fish is produced by a fluorescent protein gene, which creates the beautiful fluorescence that can be seen when looking at the fish. The fluorescent protein genes occur naturally, and are derived from marine organisms. Exactly how is the fluorescent protein gene added to the fish? Every line of GloFish® fluorescent fish (i.e., GloFish® Starfire Red® Zebra, GloFish® Electric Green® Zebra, and GloFish® Sunburst Orange® Zebra) starts with a single fish. The process begins by adding a fluorescence gene to the fish before it hatches from its egg. Once the gene integrates into the genome (i.e., genetic code) of the embryo, the developing fish will be able to pass the fluorescence gene along to its offspring upon maturity. Because of this, the gene only needs to be added to one embryo; from that point forward, all subsequent fluorescent fish are the result of traditional breeding.

When do glo fish spawn?
Glofish are just Zebra Danios (Brachidanio rerio) that have been interfered with genetically. They will spawn whenever the water conditions are exactly correct for them and they are in breeding condition at the same time. I do not know if the fry from a glofish spawning would result in more glofish or revert back to the proper fish as nature made it.

What will happen if a human eats a glofish?
Nothing would happen to you healthwise, but you probably would feel sad because they are extrordinary creatures. They were developed in 1999 when a professor took a gene of a jellyfish and put it in the embryo of a zebra fish. The zebra fish then had a strange flourescent glow to it. they then took another fish like that and put it together and they made a glofish. The scientists then found a company that was willing to put the first genetically engineered organisms on sale as pets!
