Glo Danio Sunburst Orange
The GloFish Danio is a genetically modified variation of the popular Zebra Danio (Danio rerio) that is known for its bright and vibrant fluorescent colors. The fluorescent coloration is achieved through the insertion of a gene from a sea anemone into the danio's genome, which causes the fish to glow under certain lighting conditions. Like the Zebra Danio, the GloFish Danio has a small, slender body with a silver coloration and blue stripes that run the length of its body. However, the GloFish Danio comes in a variety of fluorescent colors, including red, orange, green, and purple. They are social fish that live in large schools and are known for their active swimming behavior.
In the wild, Zebra Danios are found in shallow, slow-moving streams and ponds in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan. When keeping GloFish Danios in an aquarium, it is important to keep them in groups of at least six individuals. The aquarium should also be well-filtered and well-aerated to maintain good water quality. They are hardy fish that can tolerate a wide range of water conditions, making them ideal for beginner aquarists.
