Bought these for my 60-gallon tank. The fish are active and colorful. I kept them in a group of six and they seem to get along well. Water parameters were stable and the fish stayed healthy after two months.

They are quite active and add movement to the tank. I had to adjust the pH slightly to stay within the recommended range. Group size is important—kept five together and they look natural.

Fish arrived healthy. They are not as peaceful as some other species, so I need to monitor their behavior. Tank size is a concern—must be at least 55 gallons to avoid stress.
