Galactic Purple Glofish Pristella
The purple glo pristella tetra is a solid vivid purple in standard or fluorescent light. These hardy aquarium-designed fish were the combination of the pristella tetra and phytoplankton. With almost identical behavior to the parent pristella tetra (who wants them to behave like phytoplankton?), Glo Pristella Tetras feed on flake food and can breed in the aquarium environment.
