The glow under actinic light is stunning. My 75-gallon reef tank now has a beautiful centerpiece. The fish is calm and doesn’t damage any corals. I feed it mysis and brine shrimp regularly and it eats well.

Great addition to my reef tank. The male shows vibrant red color when lit properly. It’s active but not aggressive. I made sure to install a secure canopy since it jumps occasionally.

I was skeptical about a glow fish, but it’s truly impressive. It’s easy to care for and fits well in a 50-gallon tank. The only thing to note is the need for a tight canopy.
