Spotted Blue Eye Rainbowfish

Pseudomugil gertrudae

Family: Pseudomugilidae

Ask Finn

A tiny jewel of a fish, the spotted blue eye has vivid spotted fins and stunning iridescent blue eyes. Males display spectacular finnage with yellow and black markings during courtship. At just 3–4 cm it is ideal for nano tanks and looks magnificent in a heavily planted setup. It prefers soft, slightly acidic to neutral water.
