Please note that the photos of animals and plants may not accurately represent our current stock and could include past orders or stock images. Some images may showcase more mature specimens, as certain species do not display their full colors or patterns until maturity. While we strive to accommodate requests for additional photos, we cannot guarantee their availability. Thank you for your understanding!

Please Note: The images shown are typical examples of mature adult fish and not necessarily the exact fish in our current stock. Actual fish coloration can vary due to lineage, location, age, and gender. If you would like photos of the fish currently available, you may request them. Please understand that we may not always be able to provide these promptly due to time constraints, and photographing some fish can be challenging.

Pseudomugil gertrudae is a very small and beautiful blue-eye from eastern Indonesia. Reaching no more than 1.5", they are perfect for aquarists that want to keep rainbowfish but don't have space for their larger relatives. Both sexes have a golden-yellow body, and males develop lovely powder blue fins studded with black dots. True to their name, they have crystal-blue eyes that are visible from across the room in mature individuals! While their tiny size prevents these rainbows from being housed with many larger fishes, they are peaceable and mix well with similar-sized fishes.
These are adults around 1-1.5" long; they are starting to show colour. These are specifically pure specimens of the Aru IV locality; it is very rare to see pure locality Pseudomugil in captivity!
