🐟 Assorted GloFish Tetra (Gymnocorymbus ternetzi (GloFish genetically modified variety))
A Vivid Mix of Genetically Fluorescent Colours in Every Group • A Permanent, Inherited Glow, Not Dye or Paint • Glows Brightly Under Blue or Actinic Lighting
📋 The Assorted GloFish Tetra is a mixed group of fluorescent GloFish colour varieties, bred from the classic Black Skirt Tetra, offering a eye-catching spread of electric colour in a single school.
This vivid colouration comes from a stable, inherited fluorescent protein gene, a real, permanent genetic trait passed down through the GloFish breeding line, not a dye, paint, or injection. The colour is genetic and lifelong, never fading or washing out, and glows especially brightly under blue or actinic aquarium lighting.
It comes from the same captive-bred lines as the standard Black Skirt Tetra, originally native to South America. Every Assorted GloFish Tetra we ship is feeding well.
This is a peaceful, active schooling species, hardy and well suited to beginners. Its fluorescent colours stand out beautifully against a dark substrate or background, and show their brightest display under blue or actinic lighting. It reaches 5-6cm, so a 75L tank suits a school well.
