GloFish are GMO's. They were originally produced with the intent of using fluorescence as a bio-indicator of pollution. They have reduced reproductive potential as a result, I do not know about their lifespan, they haven't been on the market all that long. As for whether or not you should buy them, ...

The post isn't that old... I have 6 left, sadly. They are pro jumpers. All of them jumped out from time to time. They do okay in the current. Doesn't seem as if they are struggling.

I know this is an old post, but if you're still around- how did the danios do? I got some "Fire Ring" Danios to put in my hillstream tank, but after watching them in their QT tank I thought they weren't strong enough swimmers so I didn't put them in. I'm curious to know how yours have fared.

It's not worth the trouble IMO. Water movement in such a small tank can be more easily achieved by other means, like a simple pow...

I do not have a manifold for my river tank but I do have 2 Eheim 2215 canisters and 2 400GPH powerheads on a 40g breeder and my fish look happy. The 10x/per gallon turnover is what I would. If it is a long tank, have higher GPH powerheads. I know other people use the 20x/per gallon to be safe as hi...

First off, I want to say I have read everything I can find on this subject (not that there's a whole lot out there) and still have a question or two. I have a 20 gallon Long tank I was planning on setting up for some hillstreams. But I keep readin...
