The blue coloration is striking and unique. They swim together in a school, which adds movement and life to the tank. Very happy with the purchase and shipping was fast.

The fish arrived alive and seemed healthy. They adapted well to my tank setup. A bit shy at first but became active after a few days. Would recommend to anyone looking for a colorful, hardy fish.
