<span class="mw-page-title-main">GloFish</span> Brand of genetically modified fluorescent fish

The GloFish is a patented and trademarked brand of fluorescently colored genetically modified fish. They have been created from several different species of fish: zebrafish were the first GloFish available in pet stores, and recently tetra, tiger barbs, Rainbow Shark, Siamese fighting fish, and most recently Bronze corydoras have been added to the lineup. They are sold in many colors, trademarked as "Starfire Red", "Moonrise Pink", "Sunburst Orange", "Electric Green", "Cosmic Blue", and "Galactic Purple", although not all species are available in all colors. Although not originally developed for the ornamental fish trade, it is one of the first genetically modified animals to become publicly available. The rights to GloFish are owned by Spectrum Brands, Inc., which purchased GloFish from Yorktown Technologies, the original developer of GloFish, in May 2017.

<i>Devario</i> Genus of fishes

Devario is a genus of fish in the family Cyprinidae native to the rivers and streams of South and Southeast Asia. These fishes have short barbels and many species having vertical or horizontal stripes.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Glowlight danio</span> Species of fish

The glowlight danio is a small, schooling fish closely related to the popular zebrafish Danio rerio. This should not be confused with the GloFish, a trademarked brand of fluorescent zebrafish that appear to glow in the dark under ultraviolet light. Danio choprae is an active danionin species that spends most of its time on mid-water levels. This species feeds on insects that have fallen into the water, aquatic insect larvae, and other small animals. In the aquarium, it accepts most foods offered, including most dry foods. It has a streamlined body marked with a brilliant orange longitudinal band and a series of vertical blue-black bars on the flanks. The fins are edged with yellow. In recent years, it has become quite widely traded as an aquarium fish, but otherwise has no commercial importance. Its common name derives from its similarity to the glowlight tetra, a South American characin only distantly related to this fish. They get on well with all other Danio species except the giant danio.

<i>Danio dangila</i> Species of fish

Danio dangila, the moustached danio, is a freshwater fish, and is the largest of the true Danio species at up to (6 in) long. Its name is from its particularly long barbels. It is sometimes kept in aquariums, where its relatively passive nature allows it to be housed in a community tank.

<i>Danio</i> Genus of fishes

Danio is a genus of small freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae found in South and Southeast Asia, commonly kept in aquaria. They are generally characterised by a pattern of horizontal stripes, rows of spots or vertical bars. Some species have two pairs of long barbels.

The Burma zebra danio or KP01 danio is a tropical fish belonging to the minnow family (Cyprinidae). It is believed to originate in Myanmar. This fish was discovered in 2006 and is believed to be a separate species from the zebra danio to which it has a close resemblance. However, it is more likely to be closely related to the Yoma danio, and is believed to be a similar size, 6–9 cm, to the latter.

<i>Danio margaritatus</i> Species of fish

Danio margaritatus, the celestial pearl danio, often referred to in the aquarium trade as galaxy rasbora or Microrasbora sp. 'Galaxy', is a small cyprinid from Myanmar. It has so far been found only in a very small area near Hopong east of Inle Lake, at an elevation of over 1,000 m (3,400 ft). Its habitat is part of the Salween basin, namely the Nam Lang and Nam Pawn Rivers. Discovered in 2006, the species quickly appeared in the aquarium trade, where its small size and bright colours made it an instant hit.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Danionin</span> Subfamily of fishes

The danionins are a group of small, minnow-type fish belonging to the family Cyprinidae. Members of this group are mostly in the genera Danio, Devario, and Rasbora. They are primarily native to the fresh waters of South and Southeast Asia, with fewer species in Africa. Many species are brightly coloured and are available as aquarium fish worldwide. Danio species tend to have horizontal stripes, rows of spots, or vertical bars, and often have long barbels. Devario species tend to have vertical or horizontal bars, and short, rudimentary barbels, if present at all. All danionins are egg scatterers, and breed in the rainy season in the wild. They are carnivores, living on insects and small crustaceans.
