The Plebius Buttferflyfish is a stunning addition to my 20-gallon tank. It’s active and colorful, and it seems to get along well with my tetras. Water parameters stayed stable after a few weeks of setup. Easy to care for once the tank is established.

I’ve had this fish for about two months now. It’s very lively and adds a lot of visual interest. I did need to adjust the flow slightly to keep it happy. Overall, a great choice for a beginner-friendly aquarium.
