The fish is very active and adds a lot of visual appeal to my 55-gallon tank. It has adapted well to the water conditions and stays calm around other fish. Easy to care for and looks stunning in the light.

I’ve had this fish for three months now and it’s thriving. The color is bright and it swims gracefully. I keep it with tetras and it doesn’t seem to compete for space.
