First time seeing this color variation. The tail pattern is elegant and eye-catching. The fish are healthy and swim gracefully. Great addition to my nano aquarium.

Beautiful fish with a unique look. The female still has a nice tail pattern, which is encouraging. A bit shy at first, but they settled in well after a week.

Highly recommended. The albinino body with silver and gold accents is rare and beautiful. They thrive in a well-planted tank with moderate lighting.
