I kept the Red Feather Starfish for about 6 weeks and it didn’t survive. The tank was clean, but the fish died within a few weeks. I learned that it’s very sensitive and requires a lot of effort to maintain. Not recommended for casual aquarists.

The fish arrived in good condition, but after two weeks it stopped moving and died. I followed all instructions, but the water quality was still not perfect. It’s a high-risk species and not worth the investment for beginners.

I have a well-maintained tank with regular water changes and a stable environment. The Red Feather Starfish survived for 8 weeks and was active. It’s a beautiful addition, but only if you’re committed to strict water management.
