GloFish Zebrafish (Danio rerio), in diverse color versions. Although not originally developed for the ornamental fish trade, it is one of the first genetically modified animals to become publicly available. These fluorescent fishes were developed with a gene that encodes the green fluorescent protein from a jellyfish. The gene was inserted into a zebrafish embryo, allowing it to integrate into the zebrafish's genome, which caused the fish to be brightly fluorescent under both natural white light and ultraviolet light. Their goal was to develop a fish that could detect pollution by selectively fluorescing in the presence of environmental toxins. USA

Mangrove killifish or Mangrove rivulus, Kryptolebias marmoratus, jumping out of water. When jumping on land, the mangrove rivulus does a "tail flip", flipping its head over its body towards the tail end. The jumping technique gives it an ability to direct its jumps on land and to make relatively forceful jumps. It can spend up to 66 consecutive days out of water, which it typically spends inside fallen logs, breathing air through its skin. During this time, it alters its gills so it can retain water and nutrients, while nitrogen waste is excreted through the skin. The change is reversed once it re-enters the water. Brazil

Mangrove killifish or Mangrove rivulus, Kryptolebias marmoratus, on mangrove. It lives in brackish, and marine waters (less frequently in fresh water) along the coasts of Florida, through the Antilles, and South America. The mangrove rivulus can spend up to 66 consecutive days out of water, which it typically spends inside fallen logs, breathing air through its skin. During this time, it alters its gills so it can retain water and nutrients, while nitrogen waste is excreted through the skin. The change is reversed once it re-enters the water. The mangrove rivulus is considered to have potential as a bioindicator species of estuary habitats. Brazil
