I’ve had my gold angel veil ram for three months now. It’s very active and adds a lot of visual appeal to the tank. The fish is peaceful and doesn’t bother other species. I keep it with neon tetras and dwarf gouramis, and everything coexists well.

The fish looks stunning with its bright yellow fins. It’s easy to care for and stays calm even when other fish are around. I do notice it occasionally eats tiny shrimp, so I’ve increased their numbers.

Great addition to a community tank. The fish is hardy and doesn’t require much maintenance. I keep the water temperature stable and change about 20% of the water every two weeks. It’s a joy to watch.
