Florida‑Bred ARU IV Blue‑Eye Rainbowfish — Shed Style
 
These are true ARU IV Blue‑Eyes, born and raised right here in Florida. No imports, no mislabels, no “looks close enough.” Just legit Aru IVs with that chrome body, teal shoulder wash, and those stupid‑bright sapphire eyes that make planted tanks look like they’re running extra wattage.
 
🔵 The Blue‑Eye Signature
 
Aru IVs are already flashy, but the blue eyes are the whole identity.
Crisp, bright, gemstone blue
Pops instantly under Florida sun cycles
Zero haze, zero dullness
Face glow that hits even harder in planted setups
These eyes don’t “maybe show up later.” 
 They are front‑and‑center from day one.
