The fish arrived healthy and active. Their smoky black color with metallic sheen is very eye-catching. I kept them in a 10-gallon planted tank with other peaceful fish. They swim calmly and don’t stress the community. Great addition to any freshwater setup.

I bought a small group for my outdoor pond. They adapted quickly and stayed active even in partial sunlight. The color is more vibrant during the day. I’d recommend them for anyone looking for a low-maintenance, attractive fish.

Perfect for a small aquarium. The fish are easy to care for and don’t require much attention. They stay together in a group and look stunning. The metallic highlights are subtle but noticeable.
