These minnows are beautiful and easy to care for. I kept them in a 40-litre tank with neon tetras and they swim together happily. The gold color shines in the dim light and they don’t stress other fish. Perfect for a beginner aquarist.

I bought six of them and they form a lively school. They stay active without being too aggressive. The water temperature stayed stable in my room, and they seem to do well without a heater.

Great addition to my community tank. The red-tipped fins stand out and they swim in tight groups. I’ve had them for three months and they’re still healthy and active.
