Darned if I could figure out why that wouldn't embed. Glad you like it anyway.

Try putting just the code I0BtcjgOay4 in the YT(YouTube) tag. It looks like you may have put the whole URL.

I wrote a report in college about the use of zebrafish in research studies. Also worked with them briefly at NIH for the same facility shown in the video. Zebrafish make up less than 1% of lab animals in use at any given time, but contribute valuable research to embryonic development and birth defects. Xenopus (African clawed) frogs are also used, but on a very small scale.

And who knew they'd turn out to be the cool glofish that we all love.

I didn't start out with them but I did unintentionally breed them for awhile! Nice little schooling fish. glad they are useful for various things.
