Austin Smith –
Got this fish for my 50-gallon tank. It’s active and colorful. I had to keep it separate from smaller fish due to its aggressive nature. Works well in a large tank with plenty of space and hiding spots.

The fish arrived healthy and looks vibrant. I’m a beginner and followed the care guide. It’s not shy and shows interest in the tank decorations. Just make sure the tank is large enough and no small fish are nearby.
Keith Parsons –
It’s aggressive and I had to remove a small shrimp that got nipped. I’m okay with it in a bigger tank, but it’s not ideal for a mixed community.
