I added a Golden Wonder Panchax to my 10-gallon tank with tetras and Corydoras. It stayed active near the surface and didn’t bother the larger fish. The plants helped it feel secure. Good choice for a calm, colorful addition.

The fish has a bright golden color and looks great in the top part of the tank. I noticed it doesn’t eat small shrimp, so I removed them. Otherwise, it’s peaceful and easy to care for.

It’s a nice-looking fish, but I had to separate it from a group of neon tetras because it chased them. The tank needs plenty of plants to keep it calm.

I appreciate the vibrant color. It’s not aggressive with the larger fish, but I keep an eye on smaller species. The tank setup with floating plants works well for it.
