Brachydanio frankei
This species, which resembles a tiny trout, appears not to exist in the wild,
possibly deriving from isolated laboratory stock. The fish currently sold commercially
originate from localized breeding centers in South-East Asia. The leopard danio,
as it is commonly known, lives in shoals near the surface and acclimatizes easily.
A veil form exists, with markedly elongated fins. Size: 5-6 cm.
