Image of the bat signal but instead of a bat it's a zebrafish. Also, it's dark and rainy.
Another #AskZebrafish from Slack: Does anyone that uses #zebrafish have a favorite photoconvertible protein? Ideally one that is well-suited for membrane labeling? π€

Query from Slack: Looking for wt1a and wt1b reporter transgenics swimming in the USA and a lab willing to share them? Any leads are thoroughly appreciated! π #AskZebrafish
A little late now for the Americans but we are curious π§ How does your facility approach Daylight Savings Time? Small gradual changes or a big one-off? #AskZebrafish

Do you remember your first #zebrafish embryo sighting? #AskZebrafish
Query from Slack: Looking for anyone with a broken/unused Narishige PC-10 capillary puller π A lab is looking for a spare part (a screw!), but it is now fully discontinued. Any leads appreciated! #AskZebrafish
Query from Slack: Looking for the Tg(ubb:SEC-Hsa.ANXA5-tdTomato)^xt24 apoptosis transgenic line from the Tobin Lab swimming in the πΊπΈ. If your lab has it (and you are willing to share π), please reach out! π #AskZebrafish
For those willing to help members of the #zebrafish community, we have a few unanswered questions/queries from the last month that we've compiled in this thread. Any insight, feedback or recommendations are thoroughly appreciated! Please reach out π #YouRock #AskZebrafish 1/8

π #AskZebrafish: There's rumors that labs are having trouble finding good quality Alcian Blue. If you do know of some good stuff, what brand/lot of Alcian blue does your lab use? Alternatively, anything to avoid would be appreciated π
π Hoping to find it in Europe π Any leads appreciated! #AskZebrafish
π€ #AskZebrafish: Has anybody tried using the anti-MBP antibody (dshb.biology.uiowa.edu/Anti-MBP-BCN...) from @dshb-antibodies.bsky.social? A lab wants to use it for recognizing glia in 2-5 dpf #zebrafish. Alternatively, if anyone has any recommendations that would work instead, please let us know π
π Query from Slack: Would anyone in Europe have the sqet33 line from the Korzh Lab swimming about? From this paper: journals.plos.org/plosone/arti... #AskZebrafish
Headscratcher from Slack: "Has anyone implemented fin-clip qPCR to verify casper background (mitfa/mpv17 expression) β or has any advice? We believe we have a contamination in a line and we want to get rid of any 'casper'" π€ #AskZebrafish
Query from Slack: Does anyone have the line or the plasmids to make the heat shock lines for isl1a and isl2a?Β These ones: zfin.org/ZDB-TGCONSTR... and zfin.org/ZDB-TGCONSTR... π Any leads appreciated! #AskZebrafish
Any other recommendations from the community? π€ #AskZebrafish

Another query from Slack: Is there anyone with experience isolating and culturing zebrafish pigment cells (melanophores/iridophores/xanthophores)? Any input or advice on how to make it work would be useful! #AskZebrafish
Query from Slack: Has anyone tried to express HaloTag7 in zebrafish? If yes, could you please share the plasmid(s) with a fellow fish lab? π #AskZebrafish
