Description
The Pacific Blue Eye is a small, active, and peaceful schooling fish known for its iridescent blue eyes and often vibrant fin coloration, particularly in males. They are an excellent choice for planted community aquariums, adding movement and sparkle. While naturally found in both fresh and brackish waters, they thrive in freshwater home aquariums.
