Zebrafish

The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a freshwater fish belonging to the minnow family (Cyprinidae) of the order Cypriniformes.[2] Native to the Himalayan region, it is a popular aquarium fish, frequently sold under the trade name zebra danio[3] (and thus often called a "tropical fish" although not native to the tropics). The zebrafish is also an important and widely used vertebrate model organism in scientific research. It is particularly notable for its regenerativeabilities,[4] and has been modified by researchers to produce many transgenic strains.[5][6][7]
