A transgenic Betta comprising a chromosomally integrated expression cassette encoding a fluorescent protein, wherein the Betta comprises a transformation event selected from a group comprising a “Green Betta 1 transformation event”, an “Orange Betta 1 transformation event”, a “Red Betta 1 transformation event”, a “Blue Betta 1 transformation event”, and a “Purple Betta 1 transformation event”, each one of the transformation events having cryopreserved testes deposited at the ATCC.
A method of producing a transgenic Betta comprising:
- (a) obtaining a Betta that comprises a chromosomally integrated expression cassette encoding a fluorescent protein;
- and
- (b) breeding the obtained Betta with a second Betta to provide a transgenic Betta, wherein the transgenic Betta comprises a transformation event selected from a group comprising a “Green Betta 1 transformation event”, an “Orange Betta 1 transformation event”, a “Red Betta 1 transformation event”, a “Blue Betta 1 transformation event”, and a “Purple Betta 1 transformation event”, each one of the transformation events having cryopreserved testes deposited at the ATCC.
