I bought this for my 24-gallon tank and it has been thriving for three months. It’s very calm and doesn’t bother other fish. Easy to care for and looks great in the tank.
Brandon McLean –
The fish grows slowly and stays within the 2.5 to 3.5 inch range. I appreciate that it’s peaceful and doesn’t stress the community fish.

Perfect for a beginner. It’s active but not aggressive, and it blends well with my live rock setup. No issues with water parameters or feeding.
