    Lin Yu-Ho, president of Jy Lin Trading company, noted that the fluorescent proteins that displayed the "pinkish" color were discovered by National Kaosiung Marine University associate professor Chen Ming-chyuan. 

    Gong Hong-yo, professor at the National Ocean University, found that the fish would be born pink if micro-transfusion methods were used to transfer the protein into the fish's fragile eggs.

    One foreign buyer offered a large sum of money for one of the glowing pink fish, but Jy Lin Trading Co. has declined until the species passes safety assessment tests. According to KXAN, each fish will be expected to cost $3,400. You can view a video of the shocking-pink swimmers on the KXAN website.
