My Ember Tetra's often glow when there's a light source off to the side. With the aquarium light on top of the tank plus a side light ( like a house lamp on in the room ) seems to give the reflection needed to see that 'glow'. Many photographers will purposely use side-lighting for that reason.
Such a great list. When my future daughter in law took me fish shopping recently, I had such a hard time deciding between the green kubotais (which I eventually decided on) and the gold tetras to go with my chili rasboras. I was completely blown away by the gold tetras - stunning! Just didn’t have the perfect tank for them right now. Thanks for a great list!
I just gotta say, wherever I see a 💚 I automatically think green neon now. 😉 Great list! Nice to see Bob again. 💟 He was a handsomely beautiful fish. That checkerboard is really cool too. Have a great day! 😊 ✨
The green neon tetras are so amazing. You are the reason I'm getting these little guys next. As soon as I set up the 20 gallon column tank, a school of those little fellas along with some chili rasboras are going to be going in there. Thanks for all your wonderful videos!!
@@krystabastiaans1305 I'm not sure what to use for gravel/substrate to bring out the colors. What do you use for your chilis, if you don't mind me asking?
I run my tanks at 24°c, so I also have white cloud moutain minnows in mine, and they're gorgeous. I also find that my male lime green endlers have a lovely shimmer to them, I also keep (all male) Japan blue endlers, yellow tiger endlers & red cobra endlers with my green neon tetras, neon green rasboras, ember tetras, galaxy rasboras, gold ring danio (tinwini), x-ray tetras, glowlight tetras and kuhli loaches. I'm considering adding glowlight rasbora. I love having a very large heavily planted, ecosystem tank full of teeny tiny fish gems.
I have a 29 gallon that’s growing out guppies right now, but soon I’m thinking about glowlight tetras, green neon tetras, and neon green rasboras in it. I think their colors would look really nice together.
Oh... uhhh... you did say nano fish. That would disqualify my suggestion. Unless we can consider the aro fry to be "nano". You know, for a week or two. 🤣🤣🤣
I love my celestial pearl danios, even though a bit shy. I love the sparkling gouramis too, but after having 8 of them in a 50 gallon, one male eventually killed all buy himself..he's alone now, but doing fine.
I recently found glowlight tetra at my favorite pet shop and they glowed so much in their tank and looked so beautiful. I'm hoping to add them to my 29 nano fish planted tank.
My glowiest combo was a 10 gallon with a school of espei rasboras and a sparkling gourami. The rasboras' super bright orange plus the shimmering spots and eye of the gourami made a great combo!
I can't believe this got stuck in my "watch later" list for 5 months!! I'm so far behind! 🧐 Edit; you're so spot on, Sparkling Gouramis always seem like quiet ponderers in the tank. They are the slow and steady philosophers rather than active type A personalities! 😊
Great list. I have such a long bucket list of fish I want to try, but a teeny tiny house so...I live vicariously by watching all the good videos on them. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the 12g you mentioned will be coming up soon. 👍❤️👍
I found that endlers are glowing when the light off Especially the female ones that usually just grey and silver I could easily spot them with ambience light from next room, even though the aquarium light and the room lights were off
That did it. I will definitely get some green nonsense and take the few cardinals out that I was starting again. Got shrimp anyway so it would probably be better! Looks like you keep small scapes which you can get your lights right compared to the bigger tanks that I have planted. I think I have too much like under the circumstances. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. I am killing time currently out on short term disability. Thanks.
Actually most tropical fish do glow or at least have a pattern that glows but it really depends on your light, looking angle, camera, sexual dimorphism and/or breeding behavior. From my experience, some fish that i've seen glow no matter what were diamond tetras (especially adults), electric blue rams, neon-style tetras (neons,green neons as you mention and especially cardinals)and guppies. I won't mention any type of glofish as they are genetically modified so nothing natural here.
Better these than the ones sold as glow fish! The only redeeming value in glow fish is it might get younger kids into the hobby. The stuff of nightmares glow fish,sponge bob pineapple and clown puke gravel. Have to go feeling ill 🤢🤮
I really like the glowing stripe on White Clouds. They are next on my list to get when my next tank gets set up.
You know what, you’re right! And when they are wee babies they really do look like green neons to me (xtra bonus)☺️
Yes, I love my white clouds! I have a mixed group of regular and gold. They look dull in the store, but they color up so nicely once they're home.
It was the stripe that got me hooked initially. I've had them a couple of years and love how chill they are - both figuratively and literally!

That's what I do...I have low tech lights for now, so I side light the tank for my plants. The embers are beautiful lit from the side.
Cool idea. Makes sense, though. Gotta love this hobby; there's like a beautiful fusion of science and art to nearly all aspects of it. So cool.
One u should try is the blue eyed red rainbow fish. Just started keeping them and once they get their colors they are stunning❤
They are stunning!!!
Agree!
Black neons are definitely underrated in the hobby.
Sparkling gouramis should be kept in at least a trio otherwise they are quite shy.

Well, that makes 2 of us! 🤭💚 The checkerboards are very cool little fish - hope you have a great sunny day too, Cheryl 😊
I have a convict cichlid that glows under certain lighting conditions. Under yellow/white light, the white stripes just illuminate.
Ooooh !!! Good point!

I currently have chilli rasbora and really want to add some green neon tetras to my tank
@@krystabastiaans1305 I'm not sure what to use for gravel/substrate to bring out the colors. What do you use for your chilis, if you don't mind me asking?
@@mindylolo I actually have black substrate in all of my tanks… I also have black backgrounds. It really makes the chiles pop once they colour up.

Beautiful tanks and groovy background music in this video. Loved it!
Egger's killifish have a fabulous iridescent glow to them.
Fascinating group of glowing fish. Never thought of them that way. Really cool. Thank you, Professor Joanna.
My favorite is having electric blue acaras under a blue light and the orange trailers they have pop like no other

Yet another great video Joanna! Would it be too nerdy of me to say I love the font you used in this here?
Definitely Glo light tetras.💚💚💚💚💚👍. Thanks Johanna
The blue dots on the German blue ram also glow under low light. Especially if you have RGB light most fish will glow. ember, betta etc.
Thanks Joanna! I got my green kubotai rasboras from flip a few months back! Super healthy and super green!
Great video…the white minnow is really stunning…it’s very hard to pick!
I really like my long fin white cloud mountain minnows they really pop! Great list Joanna!
Yes!! I agree!! They are pretty sparkly. ☺️
I can't believe this got stuck in my "watch later" list for 5 months!! I'm so far behind! 🧐
Edit; you're so spot on, Sparkling Gouramis always seem like quiet ponderers in the tank. They are the slow and steady philosophers rather than active type A personalities! 😊
Another great video. Keep sharing.😊
What a fun category! Definitely a great list to keep for ideas for new additions to my tanks.
What a great video, love the shine on all of these. Forgot all about the Lampeye Rasbora. Thanks for the theme with this video
We frequently forget about them too - great little fish that I miss having around ☺️ Have a great rest of your day, Chris!
Great video, thank you so much!❤

All fishes is beautiful but blue and green tetra rasbora is outstanding 👌 👏 💙

Norman's Lampeye Killifish ✨
I'm gonna comment before i watch but you better have green neons on this list 🤣 After watching, what an awesme list! I agree with all of them!
Lol! Heck ya!!! 💚💚💚 ☺️
I’m wondering you might’ve forgotten that the betta fish also has a glow in the dark variety that is a fluorescent greenish color.
Nice collection 👌
Are there any Canadian sites you recommend, for ordering nanofish or Betta fish?
Every one I see mentioned on RUclips only ships within the U.S.
Oh that’s a bummer. I wish I did. If I ever hear of any sources, I will share ☺️
Just got my first green neons! 💚💚💚💚💚💚
Did you??!?!?? Yay!!!! Congrats!!🎊🎉 💚

Embers glow under good lighting mine look like they are on fire
Oh no, am I colorblind or are "green" neons actually blue??
Joanna, I made some marbled white Bettas that are truly glowing iridescent if you want to check out my shorts! I'd be happy to share some :)
Hi! You are not colorblind!! They actually appear blue, blue-green or even purple depending on the angle.
@@AquaticMoose oh you are so kind! I will check it out, they sound amazing! I will keep that in mind if we are ever able to free up space ☺️
Okay cool, I will post a short real quick of them under the light so you can find it easier!
Lol. Kind of teal ish.
I just got platinum rice fish with a black background!
Woohoo!! I bet they are sooo prettyyyyy!
Ooh. I bet that really pops. Good idea, I'm jealous!
I think you forgot Pseudomugil luminatus 🫣
Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit!
