Bring your aquarium to life with the GloFish® Danio, a stunning and energetic freshwater fish that adds a vibrant burst of color to any setup. Originally bred from the hardy Zebra Danio, this fish is known for its brilliant fluorescence under both natural and LED lighting.

🧬 Origin and Appearance

The GloFish Danio is a genetically enhanced variant of the Danio rerio. Its fluorescent hues—ranging from electric blue, bright green, and radiant pink to vivid orange—are completely natural and heritable, requiring no special care to maintain their glow.

🪶 Behavior and Compatibility

GloFish Danios are peaceful schooling fish that should be kept in groups of at least five to reduce stress and encourage natural behavior. They are highly active swimmers, making them excellent companions for other small, non-aggressive species such as Tetras, Guppies, and Corydoras.

💧 Care Requirements

These fish are among the most forgiving and beginner-friendly species available. They thrive in a well-maintained freshwater tank with gentle filtration and stable water parameters. Regular partial water changes (about 25% weekly) help maintain their health and vibrant coloration.

Ideal Tank Setup:

• Minimum tank size: 10 gallons

• Substrate: Fine gravel or sand

• Plants: Live or artificial plants for hiding and resting

• Lighting: LED or fluorescent lighting to enhance colors

• Filtration: Gentle flow preferred

🍽️ Feeding

GloFish Danios are omnivores and will accept a wide range of foods, including high-quality flakes, micro pellets, and occasional treats like frozen daphnia or bloodworms. A varied diet enhances both color and vitality.
