The fish are very active and colorful. They adapted well to our 75-gallon tank after a few weeks. Water parameters stayed stable with regular testing. Great addition to our community tank.
Simon Mills –
Beautiful fish with bright blue and silver patterns. They swim freely and seem healthy. A bit shy at first, but settled in after a week. Good for a mid-sized aquarium.

We’ve had them for three months now. They’re active, clean, and don’t stress other fish. The color is vivid and stands out in the tank. Highly recommend for Malawi enthusiasts.
