The fish has vibrant blue coloration and is very calm. I keep it with other peaceful species in a planted tank. Water quality needs to be monitored closely, but overall it’s a beautiful addition to any freshwater setup.

Great color and quiet behavior. I’ve had it for three months and it’s still active and bright. The tank needs regular water changes, but it’s worth the effort.

The electric blue hue is stunning. It fits well in my aquascape with moss and driftwood. I’ve noticed it’s more active during the day and stays near the surface.
