Keeping GloFish Tetra in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

  • Minimum tank size: 15 gallons (57 liters)
  • Compatibility: Excellent for community tanks with other peaceful, similarly sized fish. Avoid keeping with fin-nippers or very aggressive species.
  • Special requirements: Requires a well-filtered aquarium with plenty of swimming space and some hiding spots. They are schooling fish and should be kept in groups of at least 6 individuals to reduce stress and encourage natural behavior.
