Green Zebra Danio

The Green Zebra Danio (Danio rerio), a genetically engineered variant of the Zebra Danio, is known for its striking fluorescent green coloration. This coloration is achieved through genetic modification, not artificial dyes or injections, making it safe and permanent. The green glow is introduced using genes from naturally bioluminescent organisms, such as jellyfish.

Key Care Points:

• Behavior: Peaceful and active; thrives in schools of six or more. Ideal for community tanks with other non-aggressive species.
• Diet: Omnivorous; eats high-quality flakes, micro-pellets, and live or frozen foods like brine shrimp and daphnia.
• Lifespan: Typically lives 3-5 years with proper care.
• Max Size: Grows up to 2 inches (5 cm) in captivity.
• Growth Rate: Rapid; reaches full size in about 2-3 months under optimal conditions.

The Green Zebra Danio’s vibrant glow is a result of advanced genetic techniques and adds a dynamic appeal to aquariums while being completely safe for the fish. Its permanent nature can be seen it how the colour is passed on to their offspring.
