One of the most popular species of Danio is the zebrafish, which has thin horizontal stripes along its body.
Zebrafish are widely used in scientific research, especially in the study of genetics and development.
Zebrafish can also be kept as pets in home aquariums, along with other colorful species of Danio, such as the blue danio, the pearl danio, and the glowlight danio.
These fish are usually peaceful and active, and they like to swim in schools.
