Are those the genetically modified danios? In that case, treat them like danios... because they are, lol.

As far as I know Glofish are a dyed fish and they will either lose their color or die at a young age.

as I said, you should probably just treat them like normal danios; have a groups of them, give them space to swim, plants, ect. But they'd probably look good over black or dark gravel or sand. The colors would really pop then.

Yeah they take DNA out of some colorful corals and mix it with the zebra danio. My girl has pink ones in her tank.
