The pink color is stunning and really stands out in my tank. I’ve had them for three months and they’re active and healthy. They don’t stress other fish, though I removed a few with long fins. Great addition to a preppy aquarium theme.

Beautiful fish with a unique look. They’re easy to keep and stay calm. I paired them with green glofish for a nice color contrast. Just make sure to avoid fish with long tails.
