I bought this fish for my 80-gallon tank and it’s been thriving. It’s quite active and aggressive, so I made sure to keep it with larger, non-susceptible tank mates. It’s a striking visual with its halfmoon pattern and stays healthy with regular feeding.

The fish arrived healthy and looks beautiful. I’m cautious about its aggression and have kept it in a well-planted tank with plenty of hiding spots. It’s not for beginners who want a calm fish, but it’s a great addition if you’re prepared for active behavior.

After a few months, it’s grown to about 10 inches and is very active. I’ve noticed it occasionally nips at decorations, so I’ve reinforced the tank structure. It’s a bold and colorful fish that adds drama to the tank.
