These fish are vibrant and active. I kept them in a 20-gallon tank with other peaceful species and they’ve been thriving for over a year. Easy to care for and add a lot of color to the tank.

The long fins make them stand out in the tank. They’re shy at first but become more confident after a few weeks. I like how they swim in schools and don’t stress other fish.

Great addition to a planted tank. They don’t compete with plants and stay active without causing disturbances. Very easy to maintain and look beautiful in any setup.
