Fun to watch

I have mine in a 10 gallon tank with a bunch of tropical community fish. It does not attack them whatsoever, it is very fun to watch. He likes to do laps around the tank. Very amusing. Likes to eat a lot, he is very fast. But over all a very enthusiastic and hyper fish that is fun to watch.

these fish are so colorful with its little black dot and its shiny red color that has a high bounce of energy and is all over the place begging for attention. Eat as much as you give and always hoggs food. Try to put food in the direction where these fish are first and then feed the other fish in the other side. Keeps a calm balance during feeding. Petsmart is wrong you dont need to have a 20+ and up i put mine in a 10 gal swims all over tank top bottom and middle.it does fine its the only one and she hasnt hurt any of my other fish but she does like to show my tiny baby catfish whos boss lately she just been doing her own thing alone and not interating with my other fish like my 2 mystery snails and my catfish, her two best friends just recently passed away a black dalmation molly and a micky mouse platy but she is still a bounce of energy and excited to have more tank mates coming today! Overall great fish in a community tank.

Overall summary:
love to show off and not aggressive. Can been perfectly fine in a 10 gal tamk. eat bloodworms and loves to hogg them. try to feed fish on seperate sides to keep a calm balance. Has a bounce of energy. Does well with any fish so far and does well in a community fish tank. And does fine alone.

PRO-
good fish and colorful and do well in a community and do fine in a 10 gal tank are not agressive
CON-
love to hog food, do have their moments of showing whos boss but dont bite or nip and do any damaged just chase around fro about 2 mins
a bit expensive for one fish
