Glo/Widow Tetra – Light Pink have several bones linking the inner ear to the swim bladder, which gives them a great hearing. They also have a small, rounded fin between the dorsal and tail fins.
Genetically altered Galactic Purple Tetras are fluorescent pink. Typically, these fish measure 2.4 inches. The water’s pH level and temperature range should be between 6.0 and 7.0 for these fish to be kept in captivity.
Given that these fish are jumpers, the tank should include dense vegetation, open places for swimming, a cover, floating plants to assist filter the light, and a gravel or sand substrate.
Smaller fish may get their fins bit by the tetra, however, the fin-nipping tendency of the tetra can be remedied by keeping it in a group of at least six. These fish can be housed in a communal tank with larger fish. For a small party, a minimum recommended tank size of 15 gallons and 20 inches long is advised.

II. You would love the fish because…
The new collection of Tetras from Fluorescent GloFish® is available in six bright colors, including Starfire Red®, Electric Green®, Sunburst Orange®, Cosmic Blue®, Galactic Purple®, and Moonrise Pink®. GloFish® is not dyed, and the color they were born with does not deteriorate with time.
To aid in the detection of environmental toxins and advance scientific study, the first generations of GloFish® were genetically modified as embryos. Now, every GloFish® generation is born with its stunning color! A naturally occurring fluorescent protein gene in some marine species is responsible for the dazzling colors.
Maintaining GloFish® is as simple as maintaining Tetras. Keep this tranquil fish alone in tiny aquariums or small schools with other equally peaceful fish for the best care. Feed GloFish® a broad diet of flake and frozen meals because they are omnivores.
