Well, our retirement lasted four months and it's definitely time for a re-introduction of sorts! ZR! covers highlights of all things #zebrafish and other cool teleost species. We act as a resource hub for questions/queries from the community while celebrating all those that are part of it! #RockOn 🧪

Bottom right is the only correct answer 💯
While exploring color composition for the fishman, I created different versions. Which one is your favourite? :)

De-lurking to promote this neat piece of #zebrafish memorabilia from Rosie Lavis! Now available in its 3rd-edition, this linocut is sure to impress (especially with blue embellishments, if you fancy). Give as a gift or reserve one for yourself. Get yours at www.thewildprintstudio.com/shop/p/zebra...

🤔 #AskZebrafish: Looking for a zebrafish version of the Mito-RiboTag mouse line. Has anyone made one or might have a vector they could share? Any leads would be thoroughly appreciated!

Folks attending #AALAS2025: The zebrafish talks are in a venue outside! Cross the Rainbow Bridge (😭) and pass the massive theatre, go around the left side of it. If you see the giant Wyland (remember Wyland???) you are in the right place.

Oi, stickleback researchers!
One of my PhD students is on a quest for lateral-view photographs of sticklebacks (like the one below, obvs not a stickleback). Any population/species, so long as the location and date of collection are known.
Does anyone know where we might find data like this?

We have a winner! The leading vote-getter was @rogerslabucd.bsky.social for her guess ‘Hot air balloon’ 🎈 , which made it across platforms 😮 Other notable guesses include ‘sister chromatids’ and ‘lightbulbs’. For those afraid of fun, the gene was acer1, which marks the tegmentum & anterior tectum. 🧪
Your favorite guessing game has returned to social media! Here's how to play #GuessThatISH:
We present a pic of a #zebrafish embryo that has been stained using an unknown in situ probe by Thisse et al.
You tell us what it looks like! The catch? WRONG ANSWERS ONLY!
Let's play! #ThisseThursday 🧪

Let's talk about sex! Research suggests natural zebrafish have WZ/ZZ sex chromosomes as evidenced by a single sex-linked region on chromosome 4. This trait is lost in laboratory fish as sex is determined by multiple genes, with influences from the environment. #ZebrafishFunFacts 🧪

Did you know zebrafish share many of the same genes as humans?
