Bringing Color to Life: GloFish®LLC Introduces New Betta Species to Family of Fluorescent Fish - Business Wire

Posted: 03 Feb 2020 04:00 AM PST

ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GloFish®LLC is welcoming a new species to its ever-expanding family of fluorescent fish with GloFish® Betta. The Electric Green® GloFish® Betta species is the first to debut within the betta category, introducing GloFish® to a new audience, and will be available alongside a unique array of kits, species-specific food, water care and décor.

GloFish® Bettas offer a unique addition to the world of betta fish. While nearly identical in behavior to traditional domesticated bettas, GloFish® Bettas produce a fluorescent protein that allows them to fluoresce under blue LED lights. And under white LED lights, their color is just as striking.

The Electric Green® GloFish® Betta livestock portfolio is comprised of:

  • Premium Male Betta – Full-grown male betta with impressive fins
  • Standard Male Betta – Young male with potential for fins to mature throughout its lifespan
  • Female Betta – As colorful as GloFish® male bettas, females are less aggressive than their male counterparts and can be kept with other female bettas, GloFish® Tetras, Barbs, Danios and Sharks as well as other tropical fish.

"Over the last several years, we have seen the popularity of GloFish® grow, and we are thrilled to add to our livestock portfolio and introduce GloFish® Bettas to the market, bringing the brand to an entirely new audience," said Eric Kenney, Vice President, Marketing & Product Development at Spectrum Brands Global Pet Care Division. "Aside from offering eye-catching color hues, with more to come down the road, GloFish® Bettas are easy to care for and fascinating to watch, making them an exciting addition to our portfolio."

In addition to the livestock offerings, the brand is also introducing an assortment of products to elevate the aquatic experience, including 1.5 and 3 gallon Betta Aquarium Kits, Betta Flakes, Betta Water Conditioner and Betta Water Balance – with additional launches, including plants and other aquarium décor, later this year.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu...

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles. From one year...
