The Pawgi rainbowfish is vibrant and active. It has a striking blue and orange pattern that stands out in the tank. Very healthy after a few weeks and shows no signs of stress. Great for a colorful community aquarium.

Beautiful fish with a unique coloration. The navy and orange stripes are very eye-catching. It’s peaceful and doesn’t chase other fish. Needs a well-maintained tank with stable water conditions.
