Spectrum Brands and Aperture Pet & Life Partner to Welcome the Next Generation of Aquarists

GloFish® and HelloReef Brands Work Together to Launch a Fully Integrated GloFish® Aquarium Experience

GOLDEN VALLEY, MN - Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SPB) (“Spectrum Brands”), a leading global branded consumer products and home essentials company focused on driving innovation and providing exceptional customer service, and Aperture Pet & Life, the integrated company for some of the largest brands in the aquatics industry, including Bulk Reef Supply, Neptune Systems, EcoTech Marine and AquaIllumination, are pleased to announce a partnership focused on helping new aquarists become successful on their aquatics journey.

Spectrum Brands and Aperture share a common goal of developing products and education to bring aquatics and aquatic life into people’s lives in a way that is easy, enriching and ensures that both animals and humans are successful in their shared journey.

The all-new HelloReef All-in-One 15-Gallon and 40-Gallon GloFish^® aquarium kits embody this common mission with an exciting arrangement bringing GloFish^® fluorescent fish to the interactive world of HelloReef. This collaboration integrates the amazing science and beauty of Spectrum Brand’s GloFish^® fluorescent fish with the ease and instructional expertise of HelloReef.

"Our GloFish^® brand has been at the forefront of making aquatics easy and exciting for customers for over 20 years," said John Pailthorp, President-Global Pet Care at Spectrum Brands. "Partnering with Aperture and the expertise they bring in educating new, intermediate and advanced aquarists alike allows us to reach a whole new audience of aquarists and ensure they are successful with fish keeping for years to come."

There will be three products launching as the partnership commences: a HelloReef 15-Gallon All-in-One GloFish^® Kit, a HelloReef 40-Gallon All-in-One GloFish^® Angelfish Kit and a GloFish^® LED Blade light line based on Aperture’s popular Aquaillumination (AI) Blade.

Building on the success of HelloReef’s Clownfish & Anemone kit, the GloFish^® kits will combine functionality, style and the unique and captivating beauty of GloFish^® fluorescent fish with an interactive community and step-by-step videos to support aquarists on their journey. Each kit includes everything needed to construct a stunning underwater world.

Launching fall of 2024, the 15-gallon kit focuses on accommodating the customer’s choice from GloFish^® family members, including varieties of tetras, danios and cory catfish. Launching in early 2025, the 40-gallon kit is focused on the all-new GloFish^® Angelfish, with ample room to keep and display these stunning creatures.
