The fish is vibrant and active in the tank. I’ve been keeping it for six months and it’s very healthy. Feeds well on brine shrimp and algae wafers. The blue lips stand out in the group.

Great addition to my community tank. It’s calm and doesn’t dominate the space. I feed it twice a day with krill and algae wafers. Very active during the day.
