GlowingPets.com - How to care for Glow Fish [Zebra Danio Variety] Glowing Red Zebra Danio Fish The Red "GloFish" that is hitting markets in the United States is a hardy fish dervied from the ubiquituos Zebra Danio (Brachydanio rerio) which inhabits clear, fast-flowing streams; and rice patties in Eastern India and Bangladesh. Setup: You should provide your bioengineered fish with at least a 10 gallon tank to give them plenty of swimming room. Be sure to use a tight-fitting cover as these fish are known to jump. Water: pH 6-8; temperature 64-81�F (18-27�C). Behavior: A highly active schooling species which can be kept in almost any community tank with small to medium sized companions. Prefers to be kept in groups. Food: Flake foods are fine. Notes: Males are smaller and slimmer. The Zebra Danio has come along way since it was introduced to the hobby in 1905. Today many selectively bred varieties are available including the GM version on this page. Zebra Danios are easily bred fish, though rumor has it that the glowing version has been sterilized to sustain market prices. More news and information
