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: 5 gallons (for smaller species like Danios/Tetras), 10-20 gallons (for larger species like Barbs/Sharks), 2.5 gallons (for Bettas)
• Compatibility: Generally compatible with other peaceful, similarly sized community fish. Specific compatibility depends on the base species (e.g., GloFish Danios with other Danios, GloFish Bettas are solitary or with specific tankmates).
• Special requirements: Requires a well-filtered aquarium with appropriate heating. While they glow under normal light, their fluorescence is most vibrant under blue or actinic (UV) lighting, often marketed as 'black light' for aquariums. Avoid overfeeding and maintain stable water parameters. No specific genetic care requirements beyond those of their unmodified counterparts.
