What GloFish Pristella Tetra look like
GloFish Pristella Tetras are fluorescent forms of Pristella maxillaris. They retain the translucent body and compact schooling-tetra shape of the x-ray tetra.
Behavior & temperament
Keep in groups of six or more. They are peaceful, adaptable community fish that do best with stable water, plant cover, and other non-aggressive small fish.
Diet & feeding
GloFish Pristella Tetras are omnivores. Feed fine flakes, micro pellets, daphnia, brine shrimp, bloodworms, and small frozen foods.
Behind the name
Maxillaris refers to the jaw region; Pristella is the genus name used for x-ray tetras.
Plan your tank
Check the numbers before you buy: tank volume, a stocking plan, cycle progress, water changes, and your ongoing care routine.
