The Panda Platies arrived healthy and were active in the tank right away. They blend well with my neon tetras and add a nice contrast to the water. Easy to care for and very lively.

I’ve had them for two months now and they’re still active and colorful. The fish seem to enjoy the tank environment and don’t stress other species. Good value for the price.
