Beginning with the zebra fish


Zebra Fish
The zebra fish, with the scientific name of Danio Rerio is a fresh water fish that is very popular among aquarium enthusiasts. They are originally found in streams in the southeastern part of the Himalayan region and some parts of Nepal, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Burma. They are called zebra fish because of five uniform, pigmented, horizontal, blue stripes on the sides of their bodies. They are an omnivorous type of fish, and they primarily eat zooplanktons, small insects, insect larvae and phytoplankton.
