Galactic Purple GLO Pristella Tetra (Pristella maxillaris)

The naturally translucent Pristella maxillaris body makes an unusual canvas for the GloFish fluorescent gene, that deep purple glow showing through fins and flank that are already partly see-through on the wild-type fish. Same heritable modification tracing back to zebrafish pollution-biosensor research as the rest of the GloFish lineup. Hardy and easy, exactly like a standard pristella.
