How many tetra do glow in the dark?
I know: hemigrammus erythrozonus, Hyphessobrycon Hebertaxelrodi, Paracheirodon innesi, Paracheirodon axelrodi, Paracheirodon simulans.
Are there more?
obviously only natural colors.
 
If u would have used comman names than scientific it would have been easir to answer.
 
But I don't know if the names are the same in english... I can see the pictures with google's images about them

A. Latin names are the "real" names. Common names change. Esp in other areas/countries. Google is your friend.

Glowlight Tetra
(Hemigrammus erythrozonus)

Black Neon Tetra
(Hyphessobrycon herbertaxelrodi)

Neon Tetra
(Paracheirodon innesi)

Cardinal Tetra
(Paracheirodon axelrodi)

Green Neon Tetra
(Paracheirodon simulans)

None glow in the dark. They would get eaten in the wild.

But they do shine great with good lighting and a dark background.

GloFish Tetras are based on Black Skirt Tetras with GM genes added.

I know but how many here are familiar with Latin names? All I was saying is that the OP needs to put normal everyday names too so all can understand without Google it.
 
There are also GLOfish™. Genetically altered fish that glow due to being injected with jelly fish genes while still in the embryo stage. Not kidding, look it up.
 
I did it for you. So the OP doesn't need to. Why are you still complaining about this ?
Oh please. I am not complaining. I am only explaining. Why on the Internet everyone is in top gear always.
