Have you ever wondered about fish that are used in labs. I chat with Hannah Poppy Davies about her work with Zebra Danios in the lab setting at City St George's University of London, and the rehoming project that means if you have space in your tank you can apply to rehome some of their fish once their working days are over. https://www.citystgeorges.ac.uk/about/facilities/biological-research-facility/a-life-after-the-lab-rehoming-laboratory-zebrafish

Is fish keeping a healthy hobby, it's not like you get extra exercise, and does it lower stress?
With the publication of the RSPCA report, the shape of suffering, I thought I'd look over the report and give you my thoughts. Then I had to reduce the volume because I'd got so worked up. Can you spot where I editted out the swearwords? Oh and when I refer to parrots, or parrot cichlids, I mean Blood Parrots. Fish are bred to very few standards for the most, and little concern about their short or long term welfare. I feel that this needs to change, and the best way is through our wallets. https://www.rspca.org.uk/documents/d/rspca/ec-report
The genetics of colours is an important part of fish keeping, but it's not that clear cut.
