This fish is absolutely stunning. The yellow and white coloration is vibrant and it adds a lot of personality to the tank. I’ve had it for three months and it’s still active and curious. It’s not for beginners, but if you have a large tank and can handle its aggression, it’s a great addition.

The fish looks exactly as described. It’s bold and very active. I noticed it exploring the tank and interacting with decorations. It’s not shy at all. I’m happy with the purchase, though I do need to keep a close eye on it to avoid conflicts with other fish.

It’s a striking fish and fits well in my 75-gallon tank. I expected it to be more aggressive, and it is. I’ve had to keep it in a corner with plenty of hiding spots. Still, it’s a unique and eye-catching addition.
