Added a nice touch of movement and sparkle to my planted tank. The fish are active but calm, and they stay together well in a group of six. Easy to care for and don’t stress other fish.

Great addition to a community tank. The reflective markings are very noticeable in the light. They seem to prefer slightly warmer water, but otherwise are healthy and active.

I’ve had them for three months now and they’re still vibrant and active. They don’t chase or jump around, which is perfect for a peaceful setup.
