I bought this fish for my beginner aquarium and it has been thriving for over six months. The yellow and black stripes are very visible, and the golden rings shine well under aquarium lighting. It eats the flakes and live food I offer, and it’s very active in the tank.

The fish arrived healthy and quickly adapted to my tank. I feed it a mix of flakes and brine shrimp, and it seems to enjoy the variety. It’s not the most colorful fish, but its pattern is unique and it’s easy to maintain.
