The GloFish is a patented and trademarked brand of fluorescently colored genetically modified aquarium fish.They have been created from several different species of fish: zebrafish were the first GloFish available in pet stores, and recently the black tetra, tiger barb, [1] rainbow shark, Siamese fighting fish, X-ray tetra, and most recently bronze corydoras [2] have been added to the lineup.
Other common names include goldfinch tetra, a reference to the similarly coloured goldfinch, and pristella tetra, a modification of its Latin name. A common name that was once widespread but is now rarely used is signal tetra, a reference to the similarity between the yellow and black dorsal fin and the arm of a semaphore railway signal.
Until 2019, Pristella was a monotypic genus, but P. ariporo was described in 2019. Additionally, Hyphessobrycon axelrodi may belong in Pristella due to its conical teeth, but further genetic studies are needed to confirm this. [1]
The black tetra is also known as the black skirt tetra. The female black tetra is more robust and larger than the male. [29] Black morpho tetra: Poecilocharax weitzmani: 4 cm (1.6 in) Bleeding heart tetra: Hyphessobrycon erythrostigma: 6.5 cm (2.6 in) The bleeding heart tetra is distinguished by the small red spot on both sides of the fish.
Mimagoniates microlepis, also known as the blue tetra (a common name shared with Tyttocharax madeirae, Knodus borki, and possibly other Characidae, as well), [1] the croaking tetra (a name also applied to Mimagoniates inequalis [2] and Mimagoniates lateralis [3]), the small-scaled tetra, is a species of tetra in the genus Mimagoniates.
Fungi are a diverse group of organisms that employ a huge variety of reproductive strategies, ranging from fully asexual to almost exclusively sexual species. [1] Most species can reproduce both sexually and asexually, alternating between haploid and diploid forms.
The cardinal tetra is a very popular aquarium fish, but is less widespread than the neon tetra because until recently, it was difficult to breed in captivity. However, many breeders are now producing the fish; in most cases, one can determine if the cardinal tetra is bred or wild-caught due to damaged fins on wild-caught specimens.
Astyanax is a genus of freshwater fish in the family Characidae of the order Characiformes.Some of these fish, like many of their relatives, are kept as aquarium pets and known collectively as tetras.
