The zebrafish, Danio rerio, is a tropical freshwater fish belonging to the minnow family (Cyprinidae) of order Cypriniformes. It is a popular aquarium fish, frequently sold under the trade name zebra danio, and is an important vertebrate model organism in scientific research.

Taxonomy

The zebrafish are Cyprinidae with a derived member of the genus Danio. It has a sister group relationship with Danio kyathit.

Zebrafish are closely related to the genus Devario, as demonstrated by a phylogenetic tree of close species. "Figure 2. Phylogenetic relationships among danios". http://www.nature.com/hdy/journal/v97/n3/fig_tab/6800867f2.html#figure-title.
