The Red Neon Blue Eye Rainbowfish (Pseudomugil paskai) is native to New Guinea & Indonesia and is ideal for a planted aquarium.

Males have vibrant red-golden coloration while females typically have shorter fins but still display bright colors. For best coloration, keep your lights lower, and provide plenty of plant cover.

The Red Neon Blue Eye Rainbowfish is peaceful with similar-sized fish and can be kept with adult dwarf shrimp. Keeping them in schools of 6+ in a spacious, heavily planted aquarium shows their most intense color, especially with multiple males. Dark substrate can also enhance their coloring.

Keep your Red Neon Blue Eye Rainbowfish happy and healthy by feeding it a mix of high quality flake and frozen/live meaty foods. This shy fish can be easily out-competed for food by more aggressive eaters, so make sure it gets its fair share. It's a low-maintenance and hardy fish with a lively personality.

Great fish and service.

All arrived healthy. Decided i didnt get a large enough school in first order. They were very accommodating to get the second shipment to me.

All came healthy and beautiful fish

Healthy fish

My school of 12 arrived well packaged - the shipping box was really clearly labelled (LIVE FISH) so my mail carrier even waited to hand it to me at the door! They were pale but active from the get go, and settled in super nicely. They’d noticeably colored up a couple days later - I think the males are especially more orange-ish now, two weeks on. Very active, funky fish. Fyi I did have one jump out (but survive) after a feeding I did shortly following some trimming! So maybe be a bit extra careful with a lid when they’re prone to being disturbed.
