The fish is active and colorful, and it has adapted well to the tank after a few weeks. I appreciate its peaceful nature and the way it interacts with other fish. The tank size is large enough to give it room to swim and grow.

It’s a striking fish with a unique appearance. I’ve kept it for over a year and it remains healthy. The only challenge is the tank size requirement, which is significant but worth it for the visual appeal.
