The fish are vibrant and active. They form a nice school and add color to the tank. Easy to care for and very peaceful. I’ve kept them for three months and they’re still healthy and active.

Beautiful fish with striking red bodies and blue eyes. They bond well in groups and don’t stress other tank mates. Only issue is they need a well-maintained tank with stable water parameters.

Great addition to a small aquarium. The colors are vivid and they swim together in a natural school pattern. Very easy to maintain and don’t require much attention.
