The GloFish® Starfire Red® Angelfish is a captivating and vibrant choice for any aquarium enthusiast. With care requirements identical to their wild-type counterparts, these striking fish are both beautiful and easy to maintain. This makes them perfect for both novice and experienced aquarists alike.
One of the remarkable features of the GloFish® Starfire Red® Angelfish is their rapid growth. Under proper care and a nutritious feeding regimen, these fish can reach full maturity within six months to one year. As they grow, you’ll have the rewarding experience of watching them develop and display their brilliant colors.
Additionally, as they mature, these angelfish may exhibit extra markings, such as dark patches, marbling, or speckles, similar to their wild relatives. This unique touch adds even more appeal to their already stunning appearance.
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.

Gorgeous Angelfish
My new angelfish arrived healthy and strong. She quickly acclimated to my 40 gallon tank. Her tank mates include danios, tetras, Cory’s, nerite snails, mystery snails and neocardinia shrimp. I look forward to seeing her grow.

Arrived DOA
I was overjoyed to purchase 2 starfire angels when they restocked, however that joy quickly turned to heartbreak when both arrived dead. The water was freezing cold and the bag had small holes. I don't know if there was even enough oxygen. Although I was refunded, I would much rather have preferred the offer of shipping replacements instead. My experience was not good.

April, Thank you for sharing your experience. We completely understand how disappointing it is to receive livestock in that condition. In situations like this, we would have also preferred to offer replacements, especially for highly anticipated species like the Starfire Angels. Unfortunately, we did not have any additional stock available at the time to make that possible. We’re always working to improve our packaging and shipping methods, and your feedback is valuable as we continue to do so. Thank you again, GloFish Support

Horrible service
I still don't have any fish but they have $100. My first order arrived as literal skeletons. Extremely emaciated. All 3 died within hours. I emailed customer service immediately and asked several questions, all of which were ignored in their very limited response. I was told it would be A WEEK before they would send replacements. Today was delivery day but I never got a shipping email and have never received a package. No one answers the customer service line when you call. I thought by ordering directly from GloFish I'd have a more favorable experience than buying from sickly chain store tanks. So far, I have nothing to show for my purchase.

Amazing experience! Very Happy.
Not sure why I had my doubts about this purchase as ordering live fish for long distance travel is always a 50/50 risk. I have to say my entire order arrived quickly and all were healthy & alive. Not in the least bit stress. This makes me extremely happy and confident that anyone who does business with you in the future can have peace of mind. Trust me just do it. You won't regret your decision to order directly from Glo-fish. Thank you for your professional, fast and care. You did great! C L Horton

GloFish Starfire Red
I wanted to order just 2 but ordered 3 instead. They came very fast. I was all set up with my 55 gallon and live plants. Followed instructions and let them go. They are so pretty to watch. Their color got so much stronger after the first day or two. I was lucky to have 2 females one very large. It’s been a week and I’m even more excited to see them. Btw my tank is in the center of the house and can be seen everywhere. In the dark in low blue light they shine so brilliantly! They seem so friendly and have such great character tyvm guys!

Angelfish with missing parts
The glo angelfish that were sent to me either have short gill plates or missing ventral fins. I ordered 4, 1 died in shipping, the surviving 3 eat well have good color, but 2 out of 3 have the missing fin and the other has a missing gill plate.

Battered, nearly finless fish arrival
1. The angelfish (1 of 2) you sent arrived I had to do immediate isolation and treatment on it's poor finless body. I could see the sad little thing on it's side, fins chewed off awash in obviously polluted water. It took four days for it to recover enough to start eating again. 2. Both angelfish I would consider of poor quality, both being very mottled. 3. The pristellas were fine, happy and healthy. 4. Not likely to buy from you again

GloFish® Starfire Red® Angelfish
I have ordered total of eight GloFish® Starfire Red® Angelfish in three separate occasions hoping that I will receive a couple of Veil Long Fins as shown in the catalog but I was disappointed that all I received are standard fins. :-(
