The GloLite Danio is a small, energetic schooling fish known for its shimmering orange and gold hues that add lively motion to any freshwater tank. Peaceful and hardy, it thrives in well-oxygenated, planted aquariums with plenty of swimming space and a gentle current. These fish prefer to be kept in groups of at least six to reduce stress and display their natural behaviors. They accept a wide range of foods, including high-quality flakes, micro pellets, and live or frozen treats like daphnia and brine shrimp. Stable water conditions, good filtration, and regular water changes will help maintain their bright colors and long-term health.
