News of this unanticipated discovery in a medical laboratory spread through the biotech industry, eventually proving a boon to pet fish vendors. These vendors sought cooperation with researchers, and fluorescent fish thereby found a way out of the laboratory. Taikong also created a gene and fish germplasm bank especially for the fluorescent fish, and introduced these fish on the market after propagating them in large numbers.
而醫學實驗室中的偶然發現，在消息靈通的生技產業中傳開後，果然讓觀賞魚業者如獲至寶，主動尋求合作，螢光魚因而有機會走出實驗室，邰港機構也為螢光魚特別成立了「基因魚種原庫」，在大量繁殖後將螢光魚推向觀賞魚市場。
