The fish is vibrant and active. I noticed courtship behavior when kept with a compatible mate. Needs a well-maintained tank with caves and stable water. Great for small aquariums.

Looks beautiful in a 10-gallon tank. I added a few hiding spots and it seems calm now. Still needs a quiet environment and consistent water parameters.

The fish arrived healthy and is active. I’m still adjusting the tank setup. It seems to prefer caves and avoids open areas. Needs more observation to understand its social needs.
