The pinecone fish pair looks beautiful in the tank. They are active and seem to adapt well to the environment. Easy to care for, especially for someone new to marine fish. The scale pattern is very unique and adds a nice visual element to the aquarium.

I bought this pair for my home aquarium. They are peaceful and don’t stress other fish. The medium light requirement matches my setup perfectly. Scales are well-defined and the fish stay healthy after a few weeks.
