Glofish are just Zebra Danios (Brachidanio rerio) that have been interfered with genetically. They will spawn whenever the water conditions are exactly correct for them and they are in breeding condition at the same time.

How old do glo fish have to be before they lay eggs?
GloFish typically reach sexual maturity around 6 to 12 months of age, depending on the species and environmental conditions. Once mature, females can begin to lay eggs, usually during breeding conditions, which often involve a well-maintained tank environment with appropriate water temperature and quality. It's important to note that breeding GloFish in captivity can be challenging, as they require specific conditions for successful reproduction.
Why do glofish glow?
GloFish glow due to the presence of fluorescent proteins that have been genetically engineered into their DNA. These proteins absorb light and then emit it in vibrant colors, making the fish appear to glow under certain lighting conditions, such as ultraviolet or blue light. Originally developed for scientific research, GloFish have become popular as ornamental pets due to their striking appearance.
