Received the six fish in good condition. They were active and swimming together right away. The pinkish spots on their heads and tails are very noticeable in a planted tank with dark gravel. Easy to care for and fit well in a community tank with other peaceful fish.

The fish arrived healthy and stayed active after a week. They seem to enjoy the plants and the dim lighting. The color of their spots is more vibrant than expected, especially in darker backgrounds.

Great addition to my 10-gallon tank. They form a nice school and don’t bother other fish. The lighting effect is subtle but charming, and they look beautiful in a well-planted setup.
