Keeping Neon Blue-Eye in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

  • Care level: intermediate
  • Temperament: peaceful
  • Diet: omnivore
  • Minimum tank size: 10 gallons
  • Compatibility: Excellent for community tanks with other small, peaceful fish such as other Pseudomugil species, small tetras, rasboras, and dwarf corydoras. Avoid housing with large or aggressive species.
  • Special requirements: Requires a well-planted aquarium with plenty of hiding spots and open swimming areas. A dark substrate can enhance their coloration. They thrive in stable water conditions and benefit from a varied diet including high-quality flake food, micro-pellets, and live or frozen foods like daphnia, brine shrimp, and microworms. Good water flow is appreciated, mimicking their natural stream habitats.
