The Miracle Zebrafish

That's kind of not the point...

Kinda is when you can justify keeping fish in a tank for pleasure but are arguing against keeping fish for medical research.

Besides, like I said most are bred in labs anyways as most of the work is done on embryos.

I shouldn't reply, but i'm going to anyway.

Keeping a fish for pleasure, and trying to provide it with a long and happy life is completely different to experimenting on them in a medical environment.

Besides, i'm against the use of wild animals in scientific experiments as they tend to use extremely high numbers of animals, and many species have been threatened this way. My whole point was against the use of wild fish.

why are they shown in a Marine environment? if its a tropical tank. I want one of those shark things, in the background.

That's not a tropical tank, it's a digital animation of digital zebra danios on a background of a marine aquarium zoo with a large marine shark in it.

really, and you are not having me on, they can honestly do that? wow, isnt technology great. thanks so much for pointing that out

but why place a fresh water fish in an, apparently, marine environment? they are talking about scientific research, you would think they would get the environment right.

I bought zebra danios the day I saw the advert on the tv and couldn't believe it I spent an hour researching it up but nope it turns out that danios are indeed invincible (ish)

Because it's aimed at the general public and is asking for donations.

Simple and attractive are the only two things that are really important.
