Keeping GloFish Tetra in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

  • Care level: beginner
  • Temperament: peaceful
  • Diet: omnivore
  • Minimum tank size: 15 gallons
  • Compatibility: Generally compatible with other peaceful, similarly sized community fish. Avoid keeping with fin-nipping species or very small, delicate fish that might be intimidated by their active nature. Best kept in schools of 6 or more.
  • Special requirements: Requires a well-filtered aquarium with stable water parameters. While their coloration is enhanced under blue/actinic lighting, standard aquarium lighting is sufficient. Provide ample swimming space and some hiding spots among plants or decor. Schooling is crucial for their well-being and to reduce stress.
