The Glolight Danio has a slightly deceptive name within the hobby since the introduction of the Glofish, without seeing this fish in person one might attribute it to that group of fish. Instead it is a naturally occurring Danio species from Southeast Asia. It is one of the more unique and colorful Danio species that we have had come through Flip Aquatic's displaying yellow and red striping against a grey / silver body. The fish will generally ship at a size of an inch to 1.5 inches.
The Glolight Danio is a relatively peaceful species that should be kept in schools of 6 or more to make them comfortable in the aquarium. The Glolight Danio is accepting of nearly any water parameter which can make it a great addition to almost any aquarium.
The scientific name for the Glolight Danio is Celestichthys choprae
Our Danios eat twice per day. In the mornings, they receive NorthFin Flake and mixed Pellets. In the evenings, they get live foods: daphnia and live baby brine shrimp.

Arrived early and in great condition!
Very active schooling amongst themselves, white clouds and orange finned danios. Colored up quickly and settled in nicely. So far all my orders from Flip have been awesome!
Wanted small, colorful fish that inhabited the upper portions of the water for my community tank and these little guys exceeded my wildest expectations. Ordered 6 and received 7. All healthy and very active. They are so pretty - both male and females have gorgeous array of colors - and seeing them dart around the “open water” of the tank as a school with neon orange flashes of color really is something.
Glolight Danio
I got 15 of these fish and put them in a newly cycled 29 gallon, and I gotta say it's probably my favorite setup to watch at the moment. First things first...Flip once again did a great job. They were packaged well and arrived healthy and looking great. I've had more than a few nightmare scenarios buying fish online, but Flip has always been a cut above the rest and is now the first place I look when I want something.
Now, onto the glolight danio -- I can't believe these aren't more sought after than they are. I've bought smaller fish that everyone raves about and then I get them in my tanks and the anticipation doesn't really match the payoff...they either don't look as nice in person or they just have a dull personality. These fish, though...they have great color that really stands out even from across the room -- almost a yellowish green body with a bright orange horizontal stripe and darker vertical stripes. They are also very, very active and school tightly...15 of them zipping around the tank together is really quite a sight.
They were a little shy for the first couple of days, but whether it was the passage of time or the small group of male endlers I ended up putting in there with them, they're now out and about quite often. I like when they're hiding in the plants but then all zoom out into the open together.
I'm not sure I'd keep them in a tank smaller than the 29 gallon I have them in. They're not big, but, again, they're active. They make use of every inch of the tank they're in, and with enough room to stretch their fins you really get to see their personality. Anyway, get yourself some glolight danios. You won't regret it. And get them from Flip.
