The Orange Flash is vibrant and active. I set up a 10-gallon tank with caves and it quickly established a territory. The fish show clear courtship behaviors and are very colorful during the day.
Kevin Ball –
Great for a small aquarium. The fish are peaceful when given proper hiding spots. I noticed they become more active during feeding times and show distinct color changes.

I’ve kept this species for six months and they remain healthy and show natural behaviors. The tank setup with rocks and caves makes a big difference in their well-being.
