The fish are vibrant and active, adding a lively touch to my community tank. I kept them in a group of six and they swim together beautifully. Easy to care for with regular water changes and a balanced diet.

Great coloration and movement. They seem healthy after a few weeks. I noticed they prefer to stay near the middle of the tank, so I adjusted the plant placement to give them more space.

The gold form stands out well in my aquarium. They are peaceful and don’t chase other fish. I’ve had them for over a month and they remain active and colorful.
