Yeah they are actually a genetically modified zebra danio they were designed to detect pollution in freshwater then caught the eye of fish keepers I believe they are the only fish with a patent

I want some to put in my 5yr olds tank but she's got a betta in a 1.5g that we was gonna put in her new 29g. and they look cost like 7.99 in my town.
How much are they in Nashville sharkbait

Just a heads up.. I tried these out a while ago and they never lasted. Cycled tank e everything was fine they would just drop dead no reason. Dug a little and realized most places that sell these do not care about interbreeding they just want to satisfy the trend. I would do some research and not buy from
Petsmart or petco. I lost about $50 on fish over a few months.

If you do decide to get one from petsmart or petco or whatever get one at a time! They need perfect conditions and are generally not hardy like regular danios

I just saw them at petco today for the first time. Pretty sure they get 7.99 to.

I just saw them tonight at petco they are taking iver

 

[blizowman1]

do you think these are hardy enough to cycle a tank with cause I would hate yo kill off that much money in a uncycled tank

I saw this thread a couple days ago, and when I went to my LFS today they had them. They really are stunning fish, but I don't really want any for my tank. I like more natural looking fish. But they really put off a glow!

 

[blizowman1]

do you think these fish are hardy enough to cycle a tank with I tried some neons and have lost a couple and where I live I can't get pure ammonia

 

[Alyxx]

I doubt it. Neons are sensitive fish, so its not surprising that you have lost some. And judging from what I've heard about the glofish danios being sensitive and/or unhealthy, I would guess the glofish tetras may be similar. Regular danios are supposed to be very hardy fish for cycling if that helps you.

Nothing like genetically modified fish.....

At least they are a cruelty free alternative to "dyed" or tattooed fish.
