I love the way it looks and swims around. Pays no attention to anything in the tank just hunting for pods. Neat to watch them swim and hunt. Need a big pod population or plan to order often to keep them well fed. I love mine and worth it

Is a very fun fish to have with their pattern but on the more difficult side due to their diet.

By far my most favorite fish after the blue/green mandarin. The way they move around is awesome to sit and watch, so many cool patterns and colors!
