Carl Berry –
The school of six looks stunning in my 10-gallon tank. They swim together in a coordinated way and are very active. Easy to care for and don’t stress other fish. I’ve kept them for over a year and they’re still healthy and vibrant.
Nicola Clarkson –
Beautiful fish with bright red tails. They adapt well to my tank conditions. I feed them a mix of flakes and freeze-dried foods daily. They stay calm and don’t chase other fish.
