The GloFish is a patented and trademarked brand of fluorescently colored genetically modified aquarium fish. They have been created from several different species of fish: zebrafish (Danio rerio) were the first GloFish available in pet stores, and recently the skirt tetra (Gymnocorymbus ternetzi), tiger barb (Puntius tetrazona),[1] rainbow shark (Epalzeorhynchos frenatum), Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens), X-ray tetra (Pristella maxillaris), and most recently Bronze corydoras (Corydoras aeneus)[2] have been added to the lineup. They are sold in many colors, trademarked as "Starfire Red", "Moonrise Pink", "Sunburst Orange", "Electric Green", "Cosmic Blue", and "Galactic Purple", although not all species are available in all colors. Although not originally developed for the ornamental fish trade, it is one of the first genetically modified animals to become publicly available. The rights to GloFish are owned by Spectrum Brands, Inc., which purchased GloFish from Yorktown Technologies, the original developer of GloFish, in May 2017.
