The fish are vibrant and really stand out in the tank. They’re easy to care for and don’t stress other fish. The green glow is beautiful at night and adds a nice touch to the aquarium.

I’ve had them for about two months and they’re active and healthy. They don’t eat much and adapt well to the tank conditions. The color is consistent and very eye-catching.

Great addition to my community tank. They swim gracefully and their glowing appearance is a highlight. I didn’t expect such a strong visual impact from a small fish.
