Fort Hertz was a remote British Military outpost in northeastern Burma in the Putao District district of Putao in what is now the Kachin State near the present town of Putao . It was named after William Axel Hertz . Hertz led the first expeditions into the far north of Burma in 1888, was responsible for the 1912 Gazetteer of Kachin Hills area and served as the first Deputy Commissioner of the Government in the Putao District. ref name Tun The military post was established in 1914 and given the name Fort Hertz in 1925 on the retirement of William Hertz from the Indian Civil Service . World War II Up until 1942, Fort Hertz was maintained as an outpost of the Myitkyina Battalion of the Burma Frontier Force . During the 1942 Japanese invasion of Burma, various retreating soldiers of the British Indian Burma Garrison remained in the Fort Hertz area. The military authorities in India had no direct contact with Fort Hertz during most of the summer of 1942. Troops were parachuted into Upper Burma on July 3, 1942. Led by Captain J.O.M. Roberts of the 153rd Gurkha Indian Parachute Battalion , the men had orders to investigate the state of the Myitkyina area and then march 150 miles north to Fort Hertz. On August 12, 1942, Major Hopkins of the 50th Indian Parachute Brigade overflew the Fort and discovered that it was unexpectedly in British hands. Captain Roberts had reached the fort some days before. The landing strip at the fort was however unusable. The next day, a party led by Captain G.E.C. Newland of the 153rd Indian Parachute Battalion parachute dropped into Fort Hertz with engineering supplies. By August 20, the airfield had been repaired enough that aircraft could land. Lieutenant Colonel Gamble, the new commander of the area arrived on that date quickly followed by a company of the 7 9th Jat Regiment . The party led by Captain Roberts was extracted around the same time. Its garrison, consisting of various battalions of the British Indian Army and the Northern Kachin Levies ... more details

This should not be confused with the GloFish http www.glofish.com , a trademarked brand of fluorescent zebrafish that appears to glow in the dark under a black light. The Danio choprai is an active danionin species that spends most of its time on mid water levels. This species feeds on insects that have fallen into the water, aquatic insect larvae, and other small animals. In the aquarium it accepts most foods offered, including most dry foods. It has a streamlined body marked with a brilliant orange longitudinal band and a series of vertical blue black bars on the flanks. The fins are edged with yellow. In recent years it has become quite widely traded as an aquarium fish, but otherwise has no commercial importance. Its common name derives from its similarity to the glowlight tetra , a South American characin only distantly related to this fish.They get on well with all other danio species except the giant danio. Image Glowlight Danio Danio Choprae.JPG thumb Image Danio choprae.JPG thumb There is less frequently traded geographical variant from the Putao area of northern Myanmar , known as the northern glowlight danio , sometimes referred to by a fictitious scientific name Danio putaoensis .
