Brachydanio rerio

Description

Long a popular favorite in the aquarium hobby, the 'Zebra Danio' has been line bred into multiple forms, including the 'Leopard Danio' and most recently the 'GloFish' varieties which have been genetically modified to introduce a flourescence gene originating from sea coral. Interestingly, the original varients were developed for their glow responses to toxins in their water.
