The fish are vibrant and show a beautiful soft gradient between blue and orange. They grow slowly, which is perfect for a steady setup. Very active in a well-maintained tank with good water flow.

I’ve had these for six months and they’ve stayed healthy. The coloration is more subtle than expected, but still very attractive. Good for a natural-looking community tank.

The Aves Creek strain is a great choice for aquarists who prefer a more natural color transition. They don’t show the typical checkboarding, which makes them stand out in a mixed school.
