I bought six of these little cuties and they’re so much fun to watch. They’ve been a little shy and prefer the back of the tank so far, but I have seen all six schooling together and they’re getting braver as they explore the tank. All of them are healthy and they didn’t seem too stressed being acclimated their new environment. I’m sure I’ll be back for more!
