The colors are vibrant and the fish are active in the tank. I kept them in a 5-gallon tank with some shrimp, and they seem happy. Easy to care for and very attractive.

Received the bettas in good condition. They have bright patterns and swim well. I noticed they get territorial, so I made sure to keep them alone in the tank.
