Description
Remarks: Glowlight Danios are brightly colored, naturally-occurring species, separate from the trade-created “Glo-Lite Danios.” Their bodies are bright yellow-green with an iridescent orange strip from the caudal fin through the front half of the body. They have several blue stripes that are barely visible beneath their yellow sheen. These active fish are great for community tanks and will school in the upper half of the water column. Like more Danios, they are very energetic and prefer highly-oxygenated water with plenty of open swimming space.
