I added a school of Daisy Blue Ricefish to my 10-gallon planted tank. They are very active and their bright blue and orange colors really enhance the look of the aquarium. I keep them in a group of 6 and they swim together calmly without stressing other fish. Easy to care for and a great addition to any community tank.

The fish arrived healthy and are now swimming beautifully in my tank. I was a bit worried about small fish being too active, but they are peaceful and don’t bother other species. I love how they move through the plants and add a nice visual element to the setup.

After a few weeks, the ricefish have become a focal point in my aquarium. Their iridescent blue bodies and orange accents stand out even under soft lighting. I keep them in a group of 8 and they seem to be thriving with no signs of aggression.
