Easy to care for and very active in the tank. They blend well with other small fish and stay calm even during feeding. I’ve had them for six months and they’re still vibrant and healthy.

I added them to my 10-gallon community tank with neon tetras and they coexist peacefully. They swim in groups and add a nice visual appeal without causing any stress to other fish.
