Glowlight Danio Fish

The Glowlight Danio, also commonly searched as Glolight Danio, has a slightly confusing name in the hobby because of GloFish... But let's be clear this is not a GloFish. The Glowlight Danio is a naturally occurring danio species from Southeast Asia and one of the more unique danios we have had come through Flip!

These fish have beautiful yellow/orange/red hue with striping, giving them a really cool glowing look without being genetically modified. Glowlight Danios are active, colorful, and fun to watch as they swim around the tank. They will generally ship at around 1 to 1.5 inches!

Please Note: All fish shipments have a 100% Live Arrival Guarantee when shipping with Overnight (1 Day) option. All other options void our Live Arrival Guarantee for fish.

The Glowlight Danio is a relatively peaceful species that should be kept in schools of 6 or more. Keeping them in a group helps them feel safer, act more naturally, and show off more of their active schooling behavior in the aquarium.

Glowlight Danios are hardy and adaptable, which makes them a great option for many peaceful community aquariums. They do best with other peaceful fish that do not mind an active school moving through the tank.

The scientific name for the Glowlight Danio is Celestichthys Chopraeor sometime Danio Choprae

All arrived alive and were packaged well. I'm glad they separated it into two bags. My tank has never been more full of life and color in a while. I had 4 at fitst, so I'm glad I added more. They are healthy, and I love watching them use up every space of the 40 breeder. Will order more when the numbers go down as they age, hopefully after many years.

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!

Delightful Danios

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.

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.

Great experience

My glowlight danios arrived in great shape, already mature and with good color. They began spawning within a week in quarantine and finally convinced me to set up a fry tank for all the little ones they’ve been producing. I ordered 15 and received 18 with great packaging. They’re in my main tank now and very lively and colorful. Flip aquatics was also responsive to my questions. Overall a great experience and I look forward to more orders from flip.

The Glolight Danios were expertly packed and shipped overnight. They were juvie sized. All are in good condition except the smallest one. He had his tail halfway bitten off. But he is doing fine and well in my community tank. Waiting for them to color up as they get older.

Incredible

These fish came in very healthy and they acclimated to the new tank water fast. They go above and beyond when it comes to the care of shipping live animals.

I am so pleased with my order from you! The Danios are very active! They dart around the tank all day showing lots of different behaviors. I’ve kept Zebra Danios in the past but don’t remember them being this active! Thank you.
