I bought this pack for my 10-gallon planted tank. The fish are active and colorful, and they seem to get along well with my other community fish. They’ve been in the tank for two months and are still vibrant and healthy.

The coloration is very vivid, especially the silver stripe and orange markings. I kept them in a group of six and they swim together in a coordinated way. Easy to care for and don’t stress other fish.

Great addition to my aquarium. The fish are calm and don’t chase or jump around. I’ve noticed they’re especially active during the morning hours. The package included clear instructions for setup.
