Same naturally translucent Pristella maxillaris base as any X-ray tetra, which makes for an interesting effect once the heritable GloFish fluorescent gene is bred in, that orange glow showing through a body that's already partly see-through. The gene itself traces back to zebrafish engineered as pollution biosensors before the tech reached the pet trade. Hardy and easy, same as any pristella.

Care level: Easy · Temperament: Peaceful, shoaling · Max size: ~1.75" · Min tank: 15 gal · Diet: Omnivore, flake/micro-pellet
