More about Red neon blue-eye
The Red neon blue-eye, also known as Pseudomugil luminatus, is a small, visually striking freshwater fish native to Papua New Guinea. It features a vibrant combination of colors, with males displaying intense red and blue hues on their bodies and fins, making them particularly eye-catching. Resembling the famous neon tetra in terms of color brightness, this species adds a unique flare with its vivid red coloring contrasted against iridescent blue eyes. Despite its striking appearance, the Red neon blue-eye is not as well known in the aquarium hobby as some of its counterparts but is gaining popularity among enthusiasts who appreciate its beauty and relatively easy care requirements.
