Dorothy Lyman –
Easy to care for and very peaceful in my 50-gallon tank. It doesn’t stress other fish and stays active without needing much attention. Perfect for a beginner aquarist.
Jasmine Walker –
Arrived healthy and has been thriving in my tank for three months. No aggression, and it’s a good fit for a community setup with other non-reef fish.

I’m new to fishkeeping and this species was a great choice. It’s calm, doesn’t chase other fish, and adapts well to the tank environment.
