Spectrum Brands Global Pet Care, Aperture Pet & Life Launch Aquarium Starter Sets Designed to Hook Beginner Hobbyists

Collaboration Integrates Vivid GloFish^® Style with Functionality of HelloReef^® Aquarium Systems

BLACKSBURG, Va., Aug. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Spectrum Brands, Inc., a leading supplier of pet products of exceptional value and quality for dogs, cats, birds, fish and small animals, will partner with Aperture Pet & Life, the integrated company for some of the largest brands in the aquatics industry, to offer a range of exciting new products designed to simplify the GloFish^® fluorescent fish experience for new aquarists.

The collaboration will blend the vibrant beauty of the Spectrum Brands' GloFish^® line with the functionality and instructional expertise of Aperture's HelloReef^® all-in-one aquarium sets, which come with all of the right equipment and education beginners need to get started – including a complete, interactive online experience with step-by-step coaching to ensure success.

The new products will bring that expert guidance and support to fans of popular GloFish^® fluorescent fish, which offer a captivating, colorful addition to any aquarium. Available in seven tropical species, including new GloFish^® Angelfish, these extraordinary fish produce a fluorescent protein that stands out spectacularly under blue LED lights, with ambient sunlight and white LED aquarium lighting also highlighting their vivid hues.

"GloFish^® fluorescent fish are easy to care for and amazing to watch, which makes them a fantastic choice for first-time aquarium keepers," said John Pailthorp, President-Global Pet Care at Spectrum Brands. "Our collaboration with Aperture will help us better connect with those consumers who are looking for a fully comprehensive, interactive experience that builds confidence and fosters a lifelong appreciation for fishkeeping."

The brands will launch two new all-inclusive aquarium kits: HelloReef^® All-In-One 15 Gallon GloFish^® Kit, available in fall 2024, and HelloReef^® All-In-One 40 Gallon GloFish^® Angelfish Kit, available in early 2025. These interactive sets will feature a durable glass aquarium for an unobstructed view of your GloFish^® aquatic environment, an LED lighting system specially designed to enhance the vivid colors of GloFish^® fluorescent fish, filtration, starter supplies and décor – plus step-by-step start-up instructions, user-friendly components and interactive support to make setting up and caring for the aquarium a breeze, even for beginners.

An Aquaillumination Blade LED GloFish^® Light line, with a spectrum specially designed to enhance the vivid colors of GloFish^® fluorescent fish, will also be available. The fully programmable lights can be tuned to create a mesmerizing glow that illuminates the aquarium while providing adequate output for live aquatic plants.

"Aperture and Spectrum Brands share the mission of making aquarium keeping accessible and enjoyable for everyone," said Natalie Strahan, CEO of Aperture Pet & Life. "These kits not only simplify the process but also bring a touch of magic to any space with the enchanting glow of GloFish^® fluorescent fish. We believe it will inspire people to dive into the world of aquariums and experience the joy of bringing aquatics into their own home."
