GloFish Green Jade Tetra (Electric Green Variant) – ~2.5–3 inches

The GloFish Electric Green Tetra is a dazzling fluorescent variant of the Black Skirt Tetra (Gymnocorymbus ternetzi), created through genetic enhancement to glow an electrifying green under daylight and LED lighting. This peaceful, hardy fish is ideal for community tanks and exhibits vibrant coloration that remains throughout its life. They thrive best in well-maintained planted aquariums with ample swimming room.

Care Guidelines:

• Tank Size: Minimum of 10 gallons for a small group; 20 gallons is preferable for a school of six or more.

• Water Temperature: Maintain between 72–82 °F (22–28 °C).

• pH & Hardness: Optimal pH range is 6.0–7.5, with moderate hardness (KH around 4–8).

• Lighting & Décor: Standard lighting is sufficient, though blue or actinic LEDs amplify their fluorescence. Provide dark substrate and perimeter cover such as plants or driftwood to reduce stress and enhance their glow.

• Diet: Omnivorous—offer high-quality flakes or micro-pellets supplemented with occasional live or frozen foods (e.g., brine shrimp, daphnia, bloodworms) for health and color.

• Behavior: Social schooling fish—keep in groups of at least six to promote natural behavior and minimize chasing.

• Lifespan: Typically lives 3–5 years with proper care; some may reach up to 6 years.
