Zebrafish - Wikipedia
WEBThe zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a freshwater fish belonging to the minnow family of the order Cypriniformes. Native to South Asia, [2] it is a popular aquarium fish, frequently sold under the trade name zebra danio [3] (and thus often called a "tropical fish" although it is both tropical and subtropical).
