Plan your setupBehaviour
Pacific Blue Eyes are social fish that do well in groups of their own kind or with other peaceful species. They are known to be active swimmers, constantly exploring their environment. These fish are not aggressive and will usually get along well with tankmates of similar size and temperament.
Tank planning
Maintaining stable water parameters is crucial for the health of Pacific Blue Eyes. They prefer well-oxygenated water with a temperature range of 22-26°C. Regular water changes and a planted tank setup with hiding spots and open swimming areas are ideal for these fish. Provide a balanced diet and monitor for any signs of stress or disease.
