Keeping GloFish in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

  • Minimum tank size: 10 gallons (for smaller species like Danios and Tetras)
  • Compatibility: Generally compatible with other peaceful, similarly sized community fish. Specific compatibility depends on the base species (e.g., GloFish Danios are compatible with other Danios, while GloFish Bettas are solitary).
  • Special requirements: Require a tank with appropriate lighting (blue LED or blacklight) to enhance their fluorescent colors. Otherwise, care is identical to their non-modified counterparts. Provide adequate filtration and regular water changes.
