The GloFish is a patented and trademarked brand of genetically engineered fluorescent fish. A variety of different GloFish are currently on the market. Zebrafish were the first GloFish available in pet stores, and are now sold in bright red, green, orange-yellow, blue, and purple fluorescent colors. Recently “Electric Green”, “Sunburst Orange”, “Moonrise Pink”, “Starfire Red”, “Cosmic Blue”, and “Galactic Purple” colored tetra (Gymnocorymbus ternetzi), an “Electric Green” tiger barb (Puntius tetrazona) and a glo-Rainbow Shark (Epalzeorhynchos frenatum) have been added to the lineup. Although not originally developed for the ornamental fish trade, it is one of the first genetically modified animals to become publicly available. It is sold only in the United States, where it remains the only genetically modified animal to be publicly available. The rights to GloFish are owned by Spectrum Brands, Inc., which purchased GloFish from Yorktown Technologies, the original developer of GloFish, in May 2017.
GloFish® fluorescent fish are born brilliant! They are not injected or dyed. They inherit their harmless, lifelong color from their parents, and require the same care as any other community fish. GloFish are great for any home, office, or classroom and perfect for hobbyists and beginners alike.
GloFish fluorescent fish are wonderful fish that add brilliant color and excitement to any aquarium. They are born with their harmless, life-long color (they’re not dyed, injected, or painted). They require the same care as other freshwater tropical fish. Please note that this purchase includes only the fish, so you will need to have an aquarium available for them when they arrive. You can find additional care information and much more at GloFish.com.
