Pseudomugil luminatus (Red Neon Blue eye) Dwarf Rainbowfish

The red neon blue-eye (Pseudomugil luminatus) is a species of fish in the subfamily Pseudomugilinae. This dwarf rainbowfish is native to swamps in the vicinity of Timika in Papua, Indonesia. Body size, shape and color can vary. It adapts readily to captivity and can be kept in a small freshwater aquarium and will breed readily. At maturity, the pseudomugil luminatus can grow up to 1" to 1.25".
 
This is an active, but peaceful, community fish that thrives in groups of 6 or more. Coloration is fantastic but can vary depending on lighting and surroundings. The contrast in a planted tank really make their color pop. And their blue eyes are just mesmerizing! The pseudomugil luminatus can often be misidentified as the pseudomugil paskai. 
 
We recommend feeding these nano fish 200-300 micron Golden Pearls, Insect Trio Flake, and/or California Blackworm Flake.
