I bought this batch for my beginner aquarium and they’ve been thriving for over three months. The fish are active and colorful, and they don’t stress other tank mates. Easy to maintain and great for a first-time fishkeeper.

The colours are vibrant and the fish are very peaceful. I’ve noticed they form small groups and swim together, which adds to the visual appeal of the tank.

Perfect for a community tank. They adapt well to my water parameters and have not shown any signs of disease. I plan to breed them next season.
