Blue Eye - Honey (Pseudomugil mellis)

Stunning Coloration As their name suggests, adult males of this species exhibit a breathtaking golden-honey body coloration overlaid with electric blue stripes. The eye-catching blue "mask" around their eyes is a defining characteristic. Females are more subdued in color but still quite attractive fish in their own right. Both sexes remain relatively small, topping out around 6-7 cm.

Active Community Fish Honey Blue Eyes do best when kept in schools of 6 or more. They are very active swimmers that will explore all areas of the aquarium with their shimmering colors on full display. Despite their beauty, they are very peaceful community fish that can be housed with other tranquil species of similar size. Their calm nature makes them an ideal resident of the peaceful community tank.

Water Requirements Like other rainbowfish, the Honey Blue Eye has specific water requirements for optimal health:

Temperature: 22-28°C pH: 6.0-7.5 (slightly acidic) Hardness: Soft to moderately hard (2-12 dGH)
