The fish are very active and their green eyes stand out in the tank. I kept them in a group of 8 and they swim together beautifully. Easy to care for and stay healthy with regular feeding.

They look stunning in a community tank. The emerald eyes are quite noticeable. I keep them with other small danios and they get along well. Just make sure the group is at least 6.

Great addition to my aquarium. The fish are lively and the coloration is vivid. I’ve had them for three months and they’ve never shown signs of stress or illness.
