The ricefish are very active and colorful. I kept them in a 10-gallon tank with other peaceful community fish. They thrive in a consistent light cycle and enjoy hiding in plants. Easy to care for once the water parameters are stable.
Rachel North –
They are small but lively. I noticed they prefer shaded areas during the day. I added floating plants and a gentle filter. They seem happy and stay active throughout the day.

Great addition to my freshwater tank. The blue coloration stands out. I keep them in a group of five, and they swim together peacefully. Water quality needs to be maintained, but otherwise they are low-maintenance.
