The golden colour is very striking in my planted tank. It’s active but not aggressive, and it blends well with the background plants. Easy to maintain and has adapted quickly to the tank conditions.

I bought this for my beginner aquarium. The fish looks beautiful and stays calm even with other small fish. Water parameters are stable now, and it’s been thriving for over two months.

The compact body shape makes it stand out without taking up too much space. It’s a great addition to a small community tank and doesn’t compete with other fish.
