GloFish Tetra
The GloFish Tetra is a vibrant and eye-catching freshwater fish, specially bred to display bright fluorescent colors that glow under LED or blacklight. Available in a variety of striking shades such as red, green, blue, and purple, these tetras are a popular choice for aquarists looking to add a dynamic, colorful presence to their aquarium. Their small size, active swimming, and schooling behavior make them a lively addition to any community tank.
GloFish Tetras are peaceful, social fish that thrive in groups of six or more. They feel most comfortable when swimming together, which also enhances their dazzling visual display. They are compatible with other small, non-aggressive community fish, including guppies, rasboras, and other tetras.
These fish are hardy and adaptable, making them suitable for both beginner and experienced aquarists. They prefer well-planted tanks with open swimming areas and stable water conditions. A dark substrate and moderate lighting help accentuate their glowing colors.
Feeding is simple, as GloFish Tetras are omnivores. They readily accept flakes, micro pellets, frozen foods, and occasional live foods like brine shrimp or daphnia. A varied diet helps maintain their vibrant colors and overall health.
