Reports revealed that the four zebrafish brought to China's Tiangong space station are alive and healthy. However, the said fishes showed signs of disorientation, mainly due to their new environment.

In a Nature World News (NWN) report, China planned to send zebrafish to space for scientific and medical research. Zebrafish are small fish primarily found in aquariums and freshwater communities.

A National Institute of Health (NHI) highlights that zebrafish were also used for medical research purposes. These species are considered unique because they can potentially repopulate quickly.
