Easy to care for and very active in the tank. They swim in schools and add a lot of color. I feed them a mix of flakes and blanched vegetables. They’ve been thriving for over a year.

Great little fish that adapts well to a community tank. I noticed they’re more interested in plant-based foods. They stay healthy and don’t stress other fish.

Perfect for beginners. The fish are colorful and playful. I keep them in a 10-gallon tank with other peaceful species. They grow to about 1.5 inches and stay active.
