Good tank mates
Peaceful and community-safe; it's a black skirt tetra under the fluorescent color, so it suits a calm community of similarly sized fish. Good company includes other tetras, rasboras, corydoras, peaceful gouramis, and livebearers like platies. Avoid aggressive fish and large fish that could eat it, and note that black skirt types can be slightly nippy in too small a group, so keep a school of six or more with no long-finned, slow tankmates like male bettas.
Good to know
GloFish Tetras are black skirt tetras (Gymnocorymbus ternetzi) bred to express fluorescent color from genes originally added to help scientists detect water pollution.
