Import Tips
• Verify origin certificates; many danios from Singapore or India—check for anti-dumping if applicable
• Temperature must stay 24-28°C during transit; double-bag with air space to prevent suffocation
• Differentiate from lab strains; pure ornamental avoids research import rules under APHIS
