🐟 Red Neon Blue-Eye Rainbowfish (Pseudomugil luminatus)
A Glowing Neon Red-Orange Body • Sparkling Electric Blue Eyes • A Tiny Jewel for the Nano Tank
📋 The Red Neon Blue-Eye Rainbowfish, also known as the Neon Red Blue-Eye, carries a glowing neon red-orange body, with sparkling electric blue eyes and delicate fins edged in white. Males blaze the brightest, turning a fiery red as they display, making a small group one of the most eye-catching sights in a planted nano tank.
It comes from the streams and swamps of West Papua, Indonesia. Every Red Neon Blue-Eye Rainbowfish we ship is feeding well.
This is a tiny, peaceful shoaling fish that flits through the upper levels of the tank, and it looks its best in a group of six or more. Males flare their fins in constant, colourful displays to each other and to the females. It loves warm water and grows up to 3cm, so a 40L nano tank suits it well.
