Rainbow Spotted Blue Eyes | Pair

The Rainbow Spotted Blue Eyes are small but strikingly beautiful fish. They have a translucent to pale yellow or gold body adorned with small black spots scattered across their flanks and fins. The most captivating feature of these fish is their bright, iridescent blue eyes, which stand out against their delicate bodies. Males often have more intense coloration and elongated fins with vibrant yellow or orange tinges, while females are more subdued in appearance. Their fins may also have intricate patterns and slight fringes that add to their beauty.

Size:

They are quite small, growing to only about 3-4 cm (1.5 inches) in length, making them an ideal choice for nano or smaller community aquariums.

Behavior:

These fish are peaceful and lively, often schooling in groups. They thrive best when kept in schools of six or more, where they display their most active and colorful behavior. They are generally peaceful and do well in community tanks with other small, non-aggressive species. Males may engage in mild territorial displays or fin-flaring during breeding periods, but these interactions are harmless.

Habitat and Care:

Tank Size: A tank of at least 10 gallons is suitable for a small group.

Water Conditions: They prefer slightly alkaline to neutral water with a pH range of 6.5-7.5 and a temperature between 22-28°C (72-82°F).

Aquascaping: A well-planted tank with fine-leaved plants and floating vegetation mimics their natural habitat. They enjoy moderate lighting and areas of open water for swimming.

Diet: These omnivores will eat a variety of high-quality flakes, micro-pellets, and live or frozen foods such as daphnia, brine shrimp, and microworms.
