Overview
What to know before you buy.
GloFish Danios are a patented brand of genetically modified Zebra Danios, available in several fluorescent colors like red, green, orange, and blue. They possess the same hardiness and active nature as their wild-type counterparts, making them excellent for beginners. These fish are schooling, so they must be kept in groups of 6 or more to feel secure and display their best behavior. They thrive in a well-oxygenated tank with a moderate current. An interesting fact is that their fluorescence is hereditary and not a dye, and they will glow brightly under a blacklight.

Everything you need to keep GloFish Danio healthy in a South African setup.
Water parameters
Keep pH 6.5–7.5 and 18–25°C. Stable parameters matter more than chasing perfect numbers — acclimate new arrivals slowly.

Behaviour
GloFish Danio is generally peaceful. Keep in a group where possible for natural behaviour.
Tankmates
Pair with similarly sized peaceful tankmates in freshwater fish. Avoid fin-nippers or species that outgrow this fish.
Breeding
Breeding notes for GloFish Danio vary by line and water chemistry — ask your local shop about proven pairs in SA.
Settling this fish in?
Condition the tap water, seed the filter, test through the first weeks — most early losses trace back to one of those.
