I bought a pair for my 10-gallon tank and they’ve been active and healthy since arrival. The yellow tail stands out well against the black body. They don’t fight with other fish and are easy to maintain.

The color is vibrant and the fish are calm. I’ve had them for three months and they’ve adapted well to the tank conditions. A nice choice for a small aquarium.

Great addition to my community tank. They look elegant and stay active without causing any stress to other fish. Feeding them flakes and live foods works well.
