Received 12 iridescent sharks, they are vibrant and active. The tank setup took some time, but the fish adapted well after a week. Good for a larger freshwater aquarium. Only issue was initial water adjustment needed.

The fish look stunning with their shimmering colors. I kept them in a 4-foot long tank with good water flow. They are active and eat well. Slightly more maintenance than expected due to the moderate care level.

Ordered in bulk for my community aquarium. The fish are healthy and show great color. The packaging was secure and the fish arrived alive. Great value for the quantity.
