Better living thru science. I just hope this kind od tinkering helps science learn and maybe save lives some day.
My wife wants some of these Glofish. Will the different color versions school together? She wants 2 of each of the 4 color varietys.

I used to have 2 glofish one red and one green in a one gallon tank. After a couple months, the red one died. I knew that green was bored and lonely in the small tank so I moved him to my ten gallon community tank. But after a while I notice him chasing my guppies, nipping at their tales. So we had to put him back in his small tank. Any thoughts on this behavior? What if I wanted to get more glofish for my ten gallon? Would it be ok?

They will act that way often when kept in an improper number and in a tank too small. IMO they need a 20 long/29 gal at the absolute minimum. It's the length they need more than heighth.
