The fish arrived healthy and active. Their colors are bright and the fins are long and flowing as described. I added them to a 20-gallon tank with java fern and neon tetras. They swim together in groups and seem very happy.
Emma King –
Great addition to my planted tank. The long fins are impressive and they don’t stress other fish. I’ve had them for three months and they’re still vibrant and active.
Phil Allan –
Ordered a pack of six and all fish were in good condition. They adapted quickly to the tank and started schooling immediately. The coloration is more intense than standard cherry barbs.
Elizabeth Allan –
The fish are beautiful, but they do need a well-planted tank to avoid stress. I had a small tank initially and they became a bit skittish. Now I’ve upgraded to a larger setup.

Perfect for beginners who want colorful, peaceful fish. The long fins are a standout feature. I’ve kept them with danios and they coexist well.
