The zebrafish (Danio rerio) has become more and more important to scientific research. Based on our extensive 30+ years of experience, ZEBCARE has developed a standard standalone RAS zebrafish husbandry system. This zebrafish husbandry system is an affordable solution for housing your zebrafish genetic lines. This husbandry system provide stable water quality and optimal animal welfare, is user-friendly, easy to maintain and assure low running costs.
The standard zebrafish husbandry rack is a standalone system consisting of a coated stainless steel rack, equipped with glass aquaria or shelves with polycarbonate fish tanks. Under the fish tanks there is a filtration unit. This unit exists out of biological- and mechanical filtration compartments, sump and UV disinfection. This system has only a footprint of 1.5 x 0.7 meter and a height of 2.5 meter. Upon request, the standalone husbandry rack can be provided with optional features.

In many European zebrafish facilities, ZEBCARE has incorporated glass serial tanks for husbandry of large groups of zebrafish (70-80 adults). A standard standalone aquarium rack can be equipped with four layers of standard serial aquaria. A standard serial aquaria consists of 12 compartments (approx. capacity of 10 litre per compartment). Zebrafish can easily be removed from these serial tanks using ZEBCARE’s perfectly fitting net for serial aquaria. Besides standard serial aquaria, we can also delivers customized aquaria upon request.

A standard standalone shelf rack consists of six layered shelves where the transparent polycarbonate tanks are placed. The tanks can be quickly taken from the system for handling or placed on any location on the shelf. ZEBCARE offers a range of polycarbonate tanks with a capacity of 3 to 10 litre, including special designed breeding tanks.

For larger research facilities it is also possible to link up to five standard ZEBCARE zebrafish husbandry racks to a central filtration system. A self-cleaning drumfilter for mechanical filtration of the system water, biological filtration using a moving bed filter and a degassing tower. A monitoring and control system are also included.
