The catfish arrived healthy and looks vibrant. It’s easy to keep and adds a nice visual appeal to my 20-gallon tank. I’ve had it for two months and it’s active and calm around other fish.

Great addition to my community tank. The coloration is bright and it doesn’t stress other fish. Water parameters are stable with regular maintenance.

I was impressed by how quickly it adapted to the tank. It’s active during the day and hides at night. Perfect for a beginner aquarist.
