Received the two fish in good condition. They are active and seem to adjust well to the tank. Water parameters match the recommended range. Easy to care for and they enjoy the hiding spots I provided.

The fish arrived quickly and are active in the tank. I kept the temperature between 75 and 80F and pH around 6.5. They seem comfortable and don’t show signs of stress.
