I bought this fish for my 10-gallon tank and it has been thriving for three months. The color is very vivid and the fish is very active. It gets along well with my other platies and neon tetras. Easy to maintain and looks great in the tank.

The fish looks exactly like the picture. The black markings are clear and the orange tail stands out. I keep it with a few other peaceful fish and it doesn’t stress them out. Water conditions are stable and it seems happy.
