The pair arrived healthy and active. The males have a bright pinkish-red color and the females are golden. They swim together nicely and don’t stress other fish in the tank. Easy to maintain with regular water changes.

Great addition to my community tank. The fish are lively and colorful. I noticed the males are more vibrant than the females. They adapt well to the tank conditions after a week.

Ordered a pair for my 55-gallon tank. They’ve been swimming happily for two months. The coloration is vivid, especially the males. No aggression observed, and they coexist well with tetras and corydoras.

The fish are active and show good color. I keep them in a planted tank with moderate flow. They seem to prefer areas near the middle and back of the tank.
