Keeping Red Neon Blue-Eye healthy in a South African setup.
Tank setup
A minimum 45L aquarium suits Red Neon Blue-Eye. Provide hiding spots and stable, well-filtered water; it suits a community setup.
Water parameters
Keep pH 6–7.5 and 24–29°C. Stable parameters matter more than chasing perfect numbers; acclimate new arrivals slowly.

Behaviour
Peaceful; intense male display. Watch it at feeding time and at lights-out to see its real temperament in your tank.

Breeding
Breeding success with Red Neon Blue-Eye depends on the line and water chemistry; ask your shop about proven pairs.
