Easy to care for and very active in the tank. They swim near the surface and add a nice color to the display. I’ve had them for two months and they’re still healthy and schooling together.

The fish are peaceful and don’t bother other species. They look beautiful with their light blue and white coloring. I noticed they eat small mosquito larvae, which is a bonus.

Great for beginners. They adapt quickly to the tank and stay active. I bought one and it quickly attracted a school of others. Very hardy and low maintenance.
