Hardy little fish
I ordered a school of 12 for my 40 gallon tank. It's been 2 months since I purchased and all 12 are thriving! I have mostly males and they do chase each other. I believe it's just showing off to the females.
Their colors are starting to pop as well. Bigger than my black neon tetras. They are peaceful but sometimes like I said some of the larger males like to chase. Overall pretty looking fish.... Hopefully their colors will get a little brighter.

Unusual color. A good combination with the red cherry barb tetras I bought.
