The fish arrived healthy and active. They quickly adapted to the tank and are now swimming together in a group. The Mickey Mouse pattern is very clear and charming. Easy to care for and great for beginners.

I bought a pair for my 55-gallon tank. They are peaceful and don’t stress other fish. The colors are vibrant and the pattern is exactly as shown in the photo. Just make sure the water parameters are stable.

Love the unique appearance. The fish are active and stay in the middle of the tank. I’ve had them for two months and they’re thriving. No issues with feeding or water changes so far.
