Longfin Zebra Danio (Danio rerio)
Same Danio rerio genetics behind decades of genetics and developmental biology research, just carrying a long-fin mutation that trails the dorsal and caudal well past a standard zebra's proportions. The extra fin surface adds a small amount of drag, so this line swims a touch slower than the wild-type fish while keeping the same fast, restless personality. Peaceful and best kept in a real group, same as any zebra danio.
Care level: Easy · Temperament: Peaceful, shoaling · Max size: ~2" · Min tank: 15 gal · Diet: Omnivore, flake/pellet
