The Spotted Blue-Eye Rainbowfish is a beautifully delicate small rainbowfish. They only grow to 1.5”. They inhabit shallow heavily vegetated slow-moving streams or standing waters with submerged branches, roots, or leaf litter.  They prefer warm temperatures 70-83o F. In nature they can be found in Papua New Guinea and nearby territories.

Please Note: All fish shipments have a 100% Live Arrival Guarantee when shipping with Overnight (1 Day) option. All other options void our Live Arrival Guarantee for fish. 

They enjoy the water to be stained with tannins (Almond leaves would be perfect as cover as well). Some floating plants such as Salvinia also give them a sense of calm. Java Moss is great to give the eggs and fry cover since the adults will try and eat them.

Spotted Blue-Eye Rainbowfish prefer to be kept in small groups of 8-10 individuals.  We feed them a large variety of foods which include finely ground Northfin flake foods, small Northfin pellets (veggie, community, & bug pro), frozen foods. Their scientific name is Pseudomugil gertrudae.

This was my first time buying from Flip Aquatics and I am impressed! My fish arrived fast, very well packed and labelled, all alive and they seem to have felt right at home in their tank after acclimatizing them. Everyone looks healthy and flawless and they happily accepted their food. I will definitely be buying my fish from Flip Aquatics now!

Absolutely beautiful fish, came in perfectly healthy. One is on the slender side, hoping to fatten her up with brine shrimp. Can't wait to order more fish

Healthy, M + F, not all same breed?

My dozen or so spotted blue eyes all arrived healthy and lively. I wanted to have a mix of males and females. I ended up with mostly males and I’m glad to have some of each sex. I don’t know enough about breeding and if this is recessive, but the coloring of the fins is not the same throughout and I would have liked it to be, but since I do not know if this is to be expected, I didn’t knock any stars off. Just something for newbies, like me, to be aware of. One has very bright opaque yellow pectoral fins and another bright opaque orange. The rest are a more uniform translucent yellow, even with fish of the same size compared to the outliers. They have done very well. No one has gotten sick and they appear to be happy in their planted 20 gallon quarantine home.

Extremely healthy fish

All my rainbow fish came in alive, very healthy/lively and most importantly ick free!!! I've bought fish from quite a few other places and theres always one or two dead but not with flip aquatics. And it can be quite hard to find grouping fish without ick, so I'm extremely impressed and happy with my fish. 100% recommend and honestly I'd give 10 stars if I could.
