The fish arrived healthy and active. It has been swimming around the tank for two weeks and seems very curious. The color is bright silver with no spots, as described. I’ve set up a large tank with strong filtration and it’s thriving.

Great purchase for a beginner looking to add a unique fish. It’s not aggressive, but it does need a big tank. I’ve made sure to keep it away from smaller fish. It’s active and looks beautiful in the water.
