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.
