Why GloFish?

GloFish fluorescent fish add brilliant color to any home, office, or classroom aquarium. These fun fish have the unique ability to absorb light and then re-emit it, creating the perception that they are glowing.

What are GloFish?

GloFish were originally bred to help scientists in detecting environmental pollutants. By adding a naturally derived fluorescence gene to the fish, scientists hoped to quickly and easily determine when a waterway was contaminated. Scientists soon realized the public’s interest in sharing the benefits of this research and GloFish were officially brought into the marketplace.

GloFish acquire their fluorescent color via a fluorescent protein gene that they inherit from their parents and pass on to their offspring through traditional breeding. Because of this, each line of GloFish originates from a single fish. For example, all Starfish Red Danios are descended from a single red fluorescent zebrafish.

3 Species in 6 Stunning Colors

GloFish are available in 3 species: GloFish Danio, GloFish Barb, and GloFish Tetra. Aside from their brighter disposition, each species is identical to their non-fluorescent counterparts. This includes everything from general care and temperature preferences, to growth and nutritional needs.

GloFish come in six stunning fluorescent colors including Starfire Red, Sunburst Orange, Electric Green, Cosmic Blue, Galactic Purple, and Moonrise Pink.

Starfire Red Sunburst Orange Electric Green Cosmic Blue Galactic Purple Moonrise Pink GloFish Danio ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ GloFish Barb ✓ GloFish Tetra ✓ ✓ ✓

GloFish Ethics

GloFish understands that the enormous potential of genetic technology carries with it an important responsibility. To help ensure the appropriate use of this technology, GloFish commits to the following guiding ethical principles:

  • Environmental Safety First
  • Regulatory Engagement
  • Humane Treatment of Fish
  • Advancing Scientific Research
  • Open and Informed Discussion

GloFish Nutrition and Water Care

Fair price and looks good
The gravel looks fantastic in my Betta tank, providing a striking contrast with the fluorescent accents that really make the tank pop. The black base color is sleek and enhances the vibrant colors of my fish. It creates a visually appealing environment for my aquatic friends, which is ultimately what I was aiming for.However, the packaging left much to be desired. The bag arrived with a small tear, which resulted in some spillage during transit. It wasn't a major issue, but it did create a bit of a mess upon opening the package.

I LOVE this gravel! The black with the neon pieces really makes the aquarium pop! I have a 40 gallon tank, so I definitely need another bag. I already had some brine substrate, but I’m loving this combination of the black with the neon. It’s also very good quality substrate and doesn’t break as easily as other brands

Great black gravel. I used one bag and this is a 5 gal tank. I recommend 2 bags. It helps u put your decor/plants in easier but not necessary. My go to easy substrate. Make sure when feeding if food drops to ground. To use a siphon to get it up. Food will fall into gravel and sneak its way down there and soon enough you will have an ammonia spike and a sick fish. Gravel is small but not TOO small. I quite like the size of them.

I use the aquarium stones for my succulents. And when I want to add color to my succulent planters, I add toppers of other stones.

They get the job done at a very affordable price!

I have ordered a few times now, as my succulent collection grows!
