GloFish® Special Flake Food is a vibrant, four-flake blend designed to make your GloFish® shine even brighter. This special food is packed with amino acids that boost your fish's color and fluorescence. Here’s why you’ll love it:
Benefits:
- Enhances the natural brilliance of GloFish® by increasing protein fluorescence with regular feedings.
- Fun to feed as it shines under blue and black light.
- Formulated specifically for GloFish®, it’s also a complete and nutritious food for tropical community fish.
Feeding Guide: Feed two or three times daily, in small amounts, only as much as your fish can consume in a minute or so.
Set-Up Your Tank
- Make sure it all works: We suggest your tank be set-up for at least 24 hours before ordering fish to ensure all equipment is working.
- Use a heater: GloFish® fish enjoy tropical temperatures of 76-80F.
- Make Them Shine Their Brightest: GloFish® fish absorb light and then re-emit it, so their unique fluorescent colors will appear brighter and more vibrant as the amount of light is increased. So the more blue light you have the more your fish will shine!
Add Your Fish
- Follow this acclimation guide to make sure they adjust to their new home.
Feed Your Fish
- Feed two to three times daily, in small amounts, only as much as your fish can eat in a minute or so.
- Danios, tetras, and barbs GloFish Special Flake food or GloFish® MicroCrisp Food
- GloFish® Sharks and Cory Catfish need GloFish® Wafers.
- Treat all your fish to GloFish® Daphnia Treat that aids in digestion.

Amazing!
Great quality and customer service. Fish have had no issues. They have picked beautiful selection of colors for us and a beautiful long finned angel fish. Cheaper then buying in store and to me much better quality. First time ever buying live fish and shipping them to our house. It was a great experience and we will continue to buy through glow fish directly

Not quality fish
We got one order of 12 tetras, 12 Dino and 3 tiger barbs. Almost all the 12 tetras have died. Including the 3 that arrived dead, and the 2 that died that night. We’ve lost all but maybe 2. The barbs are good and the Dino’s are good. I’ve sent pictures but they’re more concerned about the ones that are left. I’d like my money back for the tetras.

My glofish review!
I love my glo tetras! They’re beautiful. They catch everyone’s eye and are a great addition to my home. Great to watch especially at feeding time, they’re such aggressive feeders. Also GloFish is a great place to purchase fish the customer service is top notch!!! I lost three fish before the 14 day period & it wasn’t their fault I had something funky going on with my tank and they got sick and died but they replaced them right away no problem. I will be purchasing from them again this time I’m thinking glo barbs.

GloFish purchase
Received fish in good shape, shipped in well protected package. They acclaimed easily and look incredible under blue light. 75gal hex acrylic tank , Zebra Danios already scatter eggs and some fry hatching never intended to breed but makes things interesting.

Amazing fish!
Recently added a new school of glofish to our currently tank of glofish. The plants are amazing and the fish arrived the next day after shipping. All safe and once acclimated to the tank blended in quickly with our current fish. Thank you will be ordering again.
