The fish is absolutely vibrant with its bright pink color. It looks amazing in the tank even without any special lighting. It’s active and peaceful most of the time, though it does show some territorial behavior when kept with another male.

Beautiful coloration that stands out in any aquarium. Easy to care for and eats a variety of foods. Just make sure to give it enough space if you plan to keep more than one.
