Care notes
Males display a vivid blue head fading to yellow-orange body. Highly sought-after Hap. Relatively peaceful for its size. Needs open swimming space in a large tank.
Check the whole aquarium. Tank size alone does not establish compatibility. Confirm adult size, water overlap, social grouping, territory, diet, and the individual animals before stocking.
