(REUTERS) - Images of genetically modified animals, including the glowing angelfish in Taipei.
The fish, which are the world's first pink fluorescent angelfish and can be view without a backlight, were created by a joint project between Taiwan's Academia Sinica, National Taiwan Ocean University and Jy Lin, a private biotechnology company, according to the organiser of the 2012 Taiwan International Aquarium Expo.
