Zebrafish — size comparison — facts and sources

The zebrafish has a slender, silvery-golden body with several dark lengthwise stripes continuing onto the tail fin. Long-finned varieties and coloured laboratory lines may differ markedly from the wild form.

It lives in streams, canals, ditches and shallow standing waters, including temporarily flooded fields. It swims in groups and collects small crustaceans, insect larvae and other invertebrates.

It scatters eggs that develop outside the parents’ bodies. Transparent embryos and rapid development made it an important model organism. Researchers can observe organ formation and gene activity early in life.
