I bought these fish for my first aquarium and they’ve been thriving. The gold and red colors are very vibrant, and they swim together in a nice school. Easy to care for and don’t stress other fish. Great for a beginner.

The fish look beautiful and are active in the tank. I kept them in a group of ten and they seem to be happy and healthy. Water changes are minimal, which is a plus for new aquarists.

Perfect addition to a community tank. They don’t fight with other fish and stay calm. The red markings stand out well in the light. I’ve had them for three months and they’re still lively.
