I bought this fish for my aquarium and was amazed by its shimmering appearance. It’s quite active and moves around a lot, which adds a lot of visual interest. The size is larger than expected, so I made sure to have a large tank. It’s a unique addition to any freshwater setup.

The fish looks stunning with its iridescent skin. It’s not aggressive and seems to adapt well to the tank environment. I noticed it hides sometimes, which is typical for skittish species. Good for those who want a visually striking but calm fish.

It’s a beautiful fish, but it requires a large tank due to its size. I had to adjust my aquarium setup to accommodate it. The movement is lively, and the color change under light is impressive.
