Description:

Cream colored (these have a nice green tint to them,) Yellow fins, yellow eye, a large black spot at the base of the tail, and a dark horizontal line along the lower side of the fish complete it's coloration. Males get vertical bars on the sides.

Notes:

These fish are peaceful, and an excellent community tank fish. They like submerged and surface plants to hide under and around!
