BLACKSBURG, Va., Jan. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- To enhance the
colorful fishkeeping experience of GloFish® and expand its
livestock selection, Spectrum Brands Pet LLC has introduced
GloFish® Sharks to its popular line of GloFish® fluorescent
fish.
"GloFish® Sharks are a sleek and elegant addition to any
freshwater aquarium — whether you're adding to a tank with other
fish or completely transforming your aquarium to a GloFish® tank,"
said John Fox, Division Vice President, Aquatic
Marketing, Spectrum Brands Pet LLC. "They're a great
conversation piece for fish owners since they're larger than other
GloFish® fluorescent fish but still have the same brilliant
color."
GloFish® Sharks are members of the minnow family, not actual
sharks. Since these fish can reach up to 4 inches in length like
their counterpart, the Rainbow Shark, they should only be placed in
aquariums 20 gallons or larger. While only one shark is recommended
for a 20-gallon aquarium, multiple GloFish® Sharks can be kept in
aquariums larger than 40 gallons as long as there is ample bottom
space for each to establish territory.
When placed in an aquarium, GloFish® Sharks exist peacefully
with other GloFish® and non-fluorescent community fish, and can
receive the same care as their tank mates. They also serve as
bottom feeders, giving the added benefit of cleaning up leftover
food, unsightly algae and small nuisance snails.
GloFish® Sharks are the latest addition to the GloFish® family,
which includes GloFish® Danios, Tetras and Barbs. Initially, Sharks
will be available in two colors: Sunburst Orange® and Galactic
Purple®. Like all other GloFish® fluorescent fish, they get their
natural color from their parents and are not injected, painted or
dyed.
"We're excited to introduce this dazzling new fish species to
our GloFish® line. Every expansion we make can brighten up the days
of fishkeepers everywhere," said Fox.
GloFish® fluorescent fish add an alluring array of
brilliant colors to any aquarium.
