Keeping GloFish in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

  • Care level: beginner
  • Temperament: peaceful
  • Diet: omnivore
  • Minimum tank size: 10 gallons (38 liters) for a small school
  • Compatibility: Excellent community fish, compatible with other peaceful, similarly sized tropical fish. Best kept in schools of 6 or more to reduce stress and encourage natural schooling behavior.
  • Special requirements: While not strictly required, their fluorescent colors are enhanced under blue or actinic lighting (often marketed as 'GloFish lighting'). They appreciate a well-planted tank with open swimming spaces. As active schooling fish, they thrive in tanks with adequate length for swimming.
