The Butterfly Goldfish arrived healthy and active. It swims gracefully and adds a lot of charm to my 10-gallon tank. Water conditions are stable, and the fish seems happy after a week.

I’ve had this fish for two months now. It’s very active and colorful. I keep it with some danios, and they get along well. The only thing is it needs a bit of space to swim freely.

Great addition to my aquarium. The fish is beautiful and stays calm even during water changes. I love how it moves through the tank like a living piece of art.
