The fish are very active and colorful once they settle in. I kept them in a 55-gallon tank with a group of six. After a few weeks, their red tones became more vibrant. They enjoy swimming in open areas and seem to get along well with other non-aggressive species.

Great addition to my community tank. The fish are lively and show off their colors well. I made sure to keep them in a group and provide plenty of open swimming space. They don’t eat much but stay healthy with regular flakes.

I ordered one and added more later. The fish grow quickly and become more colorful over time. They are peaceful and don’t bother other fish. The tank needs to be well-maintained, but the display is worth it.
