  1. charleswk39 (verified owner) –

    Nice addition to the tank. Looks good having them at the bottom

  2. brandonafrica8 (verified owner) –

    Great fish to have in a community tank but as advised if kept by itself will become a bit aggressive but when kept in groups of 3 or more depending of space.

  3. Lisa Pringle (verified owner) –

    Arrived fat, healthy and alert. Very playful and lovely to watch. Something unusual and a great talking point.
