These fish are very active and add a vibrant touch to my small planted tank. They’re easy to care for and get along well with my shrimp and other community fish. The coloration is bright and they stay healthy even after a few months.

I bought a school of five and they’ve been thriving in my 10-gallon tank. They don’t stress other fish and enjoy the plants. Feeding them a mix of flakes and algae wafers keeps them happy.
