Boo. The fish does not actually glow

Do fluorescent fish glow?

Fluorescent fish absorb light and then re-emit it. This creates the perception that they are glowing, particularly when shining an ultraviolet light on the fish in a dark room.

Yawn. Aren't there already flourescent fish? Those little skinny ones that are almost transparent with a flourescent looking stripe?
