Got this fish for my 30-gallon tank. It’s active and colorful. I had to keep it separate from other fish due to its aggressive behavior. Still, it adds a lot of visual interest. Good for a beginner with proper setup.

The fish arrived healthy and looks vibrant. I noticed it’s quite territorial, especially when other fish are near. I’ve placed it in a corner with plenty of hiding spots. Works well in a reef tank with careful observation.

Perfect for a small reef tank. The color is bright and it stays active. I’ve kept it alone to avoid conflicts. It’s a great addition to a beginner’s aquarium with proper space and hiding places.
