Gold Zebra Danio (Danio rerio)

Danio rerio is quietly one of the most important animals in modern biology, its transparent embryos and fully sequenced genome make it a standard model organism for genetics and developmental research, which means the same species darting around this tank has also helped map out how vertebrate bodies build themselves. This gold line swaps the classic navy stripes for a warmer tone while keeping every bit of the wild-type fish's speed and hardiness. We sell these in groups of 12 or more so the school looks complete from day one.

Care level: Easy · Temperament: Peaceful, shoaling · Max size: ~2" · Min tank: 15 gal · Diet: Omnivore, flake/pellet
