Lovely fish! Always swimming in and out of plants. Suuper peaceful and so beautiful. Feed vibrabites and the colours will really shine!

These swim like bettas in a very controlled and thoughtful way. The iridescent blue and grey colour is beautiful when they emerge between the plants. They croak randomly.

Amazing little fish! I don’t think they are considered enough, they are subtle but beautiful. Their behaviors are amazing to watch, they move in and out of small little spaces between rocks/driftwood/plants. One of my all time favorites.

Incredibly happy that they decided to stock these guys again. They arrived healthy and without any issues.

One of my absolute favourite nano fish – they have a beautiful shimmer in the right lighting and they croak loud enough to hear across the room. They arrived quickly and without a single death.
