I bought this fish for my 55-gallon tank and it has been thriving for three months. The orange stripe is very visible and the fish is active but not aggressive. I keep them in groups of six and they seem to get along well with my tetras and corydoras.

The coloration is beautiful and the fish are easy to care for. I noticed they stay near the bottom and prefer soft sand. They don’t eat much but are active during the day. Good addition to a peaceful community setup.

I’ve had two CW010s for over six months now. They’re very calm and don’t compete with other fish. The tank water stays clear, and they seem to enjoy the soft substrate. A great choice for beginners looking for a colorful, low-maintenance bottom dweller.
