Additional Information
These fish are undoubtedly one of the most popular in the hobby. They come in a massive variety of spectacularly coloured strains. Many fish stores recommend these fish as suitable for first time fish owners. They are easy to look after, but will usually struggle with a cycling tank, and would probably die, so they should not be added to a tank until the cycle has been completed.
