PSEUDOMUGIL LUMINATUS — NEON RED BLUE‑EYE
 
Micro Rainbow • Electric Blue Eyes • Florida‑Raised Fire Sparks
If you want a fish that punches way above its size class, this is the one. Pseudomugil luminatus is a tiny, hyper‑colored micro‑rainbow that glows like a neon ember with ice‑blue eyes that flash every time they dart through the water.
 
These aren’t imports that fade out. These are Florida‑raised, stable, confident, and already firing color.
