Glowlight Danio

Glowlight Danios, sometimes called the Glolight Danio, are one of the original nano tank species featuring remarkable coloration, particularly in a planted aquarium. These small danios are schooling fish, and we recommend a school of four or more. The Glowlight Danio will get along with fancy shrimp and other gentle tank mates. These fish were once called Danio Choprae after collector Dr. Chopra who discovered them in the mountain rivers of Myanmar (Burma at the time).

Glowlight Danios are stunning schooling fish and stand out with darker backgrounds and plants.

Quick Facts

Care Guide

Tank setup: Danios are fast swimmers, so give them open swimming space, plants around the edges and a tight-fitting lid, since they jump.

Feeding: Feed a quality flake or small pellet once or twice a day, only as much as they eat in a couple of minutes. They also enjoy frozen foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp.

Tankmates: They get along with most peaceful community fish, such as other danios, rasboras, tetras, barbs, corydoras and livebearers.

Good to know: Glowlight danios have bright orange and blue-green bars that look their best in a planted tank.
