The Red Soldier Fish arrived healthy and vibrant. It quickly adapted to the tank and adds a lot of energy to the community. Easy to care for and looks great in a 10-gallon tank.

I’ve had this fish for two months now and it’s still active and colorful. The size is as described, and it doesn’t seem to stress other fish in the tank.
