The blue coloration is stunning once the fish reaches maturity. It’s peaceful and fits well in a community tank with other non-aggressive species. Easy to care for and adds a beautiful visual element to the aquarium.

Arrived healthy and active. The blue hue is more vibrant than expected. I’ve had it for three months and it’s still showing great color. Just make sure the tank has plenty of space and stable water conditions.

A beautiful addition to my tank. The fish is active and social, forming a nice group with others of its kind. The color development over time is impressive and worth the wait.
