The Gold Black Pilot Fish is a striking addition to my 300-gallon reef tank. It’s peaceful and doesn’t bother the corals. After a few weeks, it began swimming with the group, showing natural behavior. The size is within the expected range, and it looks great in the lighting.

I’ve had this fish for about two months now. It’s calm and doesn’t chase other fish. The tank is large enough, and the fish seems healthy. I appreciate that it’s reef-safe. A bit shy at first, but now it’s active in the main area.
