GloFish Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping GloFish in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: beginner
• Temperament: peaceful
• Diet: omnivore
• Minimum tank size: 15 gallons (57 liters)
• Compatibility: Compatible with other peaceful, similarly sized community fish. Avoid keeping with fin-nippers or very aggressive species.
• Special requirements: GloFish thrive in well-planted aquariums with open swimming spaces. They are schooling fish and should be kept in groups of at least 6 individuals to reduce stress and encourage natural behavior. While their fluorescent colors are visible under normal aquarium lighting, they are particularly striking under blue or 'actinic' lighting, which enhances their glow. No specific dietary requirements beyond a standard omnivorous diet for tropical fish.
