The fish are lively and form tight schools. Their headstanding behavior is fascinating to watch. They adapt well to a community tank with proper water conditions.

I’ve had them for three months and they’re active and healthy. The marbled pattern is striking. I recommend them for beginner to intermediate aquarium keepers.

They are very social and enjoy swimming together. The headstanding behavior is a unique sight. Water parameters need to be stable, but once set up, they thrive.
