These fish are beautiful and peaceful. The golden-yellow color with black speckles stands out in the tank. My son loves watching them swim. They are easy to maintain and have been thriving in our 10-gallon tank for over six months.

The lyretail males are very eye-catching. I noticed a few pairs spawning after a few weeks. The fish are active but not aggressive, and they don’t stress other tank mates.

Great addition to a community tank. They adapt quickly and don’t require special water conditions. I’ve kept them for three months and they’re still healthy and active.
