The Red Soldier Fish is a stunning addition to my 20-gallon tank. It’s active and colorful, and it blends well with my tetras. I’ve kept it for three months and it’s thriving in the current setup.

Great fish with bright red coloring. It’s not the quietest swimmer, but it adds energy to the tank. I recommend pairing it with slower-moving species to avoid stress.

Arrived healthy and quickly adapted to the tank. The size is as described, and it’s very visible in the water column. I’m happy with the purchase and would recommend it to others with a medium-sized tank.
