Zoo 'first' to breed dragon fish
 An endangered species of fish, known as dragon fish, has been bred at Bristol Zoo Gardens, thought to be the first zoo in Europe to succeed.

Only eight individual dragon fish are thought to be housed in UK zoos - four at Bristol zoo and four at Chester Zoo.
 

Jonny Rudd, from Bristol Zoo, said: "According to Zoo records, no dragon fish have ever been bred in Europe. This could even be a world first."

The pair of dragon fish at Bristol Zoo have produced 15 fry (offspring).

Jonny Rudd, assistant curator of the aquarium at Bristol Zoo, said: "Dragon fish are notoriously difficult to breed - this is the first time any fry have survived in the 13 years the zoo has had these four dragon fish."
