Received the pair as expected. The males and females look striking with their black tails and blue shimmer. Easy to set up and they are very active in the tank. Water conditions are stable and they seem healthy after a week.

The fish arrived quickly and are exactly as described. They are peaceful and don’t fight with other fish. I’ve kept them in a 10-gallon tank with some plants and they adjust well.

Beautiful colors and active behavior. The male has a vivid black tail with blue highlights. I love the Thai-style appearance. They eat a mix of flakes and live food and stay healthy.
