[AquaticLife] Zebrafish “Glo-Fish” breeding–babies available to SWAP
Hi Amanda,
Make sure you call them Zebra Danio’s or their latin name Brachydanio Rerio since Zebrafish is a not-often-used older common name and there are other species that are called Zebrafish as well. I know the Glofish.com site calls them Zebrafish but it’s not a good practice… especially for a future mad scientist. 
If I was you, I’d be very careful about trading any of these cross breeds. While I appreciate the science and experimentation you are doing (I was a biology major in college also), you must take precautions that these fish never get released into the wild. Please reconsider your offer and plan to keep all the offspring in a controlled environment. We simply do not know what the long term effects of these genetic glofish enhancements may be and besides that, zebra danio’s are already on the top of the list of many non-indigenous invasive species in America so we don’t need a bunch of glowing mutant ZD’s swimming wild in our lakes and streams. Besides, they might compete with my day-glo artificial lures when I’m trying to catch that lunker bass or trout!!!
