Glowlight Danio Fish

The Glowlight Danio, also commonly searched as Glolight Danio, has a slightly confusing name in the hobby because of GloFish… But let’s be clear this is not a GloFish. The Glowlight Danio is a naturally occurring danio species from Southeast Asia and one of the more unique danios we have had come through Flip!

These fish have beautiful yellow/orange/red hue with striping, giving them a really cool glowing look without being genetically modified. Glowlight Danios are active, colorful, and fun to watch as they swim around the tank. They will generally ship at around 1 to 1.5 inches!

Please Note: All fish shipments have a 100% Live Arrival Guarantee when shipping with Overnight (1 Day) option. All other options void our Live Arrival Guarantee for fish.

The Glowlight Danio is a relatively peaceful species that should be kept in schools of 6 or more. Keeping them in a group helps them feel safer, act more naturally, and show off more of their active schooling behavior in the aquarium.

Glowlight Danios are hardy and adaptable, which makes them a great option for many peaceful community aquariums. They do best with other peaceful fish that do not mind an active school moving through the tank.

The scientific name for the Glowlight Danio is Celestichthys Choprae or sometime Danio Choprae
