About Light Eye Fish
This Light-Eye Fish lives up to its name as soon as you notice it. It has beautiful blue eyes that sparkle on a silver-white background with small patches of color; they are gorgeous. The fins of this fish are reddish-yellow, varied in color and transparency, although it is often subdued rather than spectacular. All of these traits, along with their energetic swimming style and eye-catching colors, make this fish a great addition to the aquatic landscape.
These fish were originally obtained from various rivers in Central and West Africa, with many species of the same genus being collected from regional rivers across Africa. These killings, which are native to rivers in Africa, are like water with low acidity and hardness. The Light Eye Fish is a small fish that lives in shallow water. Therefore, when it comes to temperature, these fish seem to be able to handle temperatures between 65 and 80 degrees Celsius, which is a wide range of temperatures compared to many other species that we maintain in our tanks.
Set up a suitable aquarium for Light Eye Fish
This is a Lampeye fish that likes to swim in the center of the aquarium. Despite their small size, a tank with a capacity of at least 20 gallons is recommended and purified water is an absolute requirement. Because they can be kept in the general environment, like other Killifish species, they will do best when kept in a species tank or aquarium. Maintain an efficient filtration process and change the water regularly.
Lampeye fish, like much other fish, thrive in tanks that closely resemble their native environment and they are most effective when displayed in such aquariums. This fish will look best in an aquarium with a dark background and lots of light. Because they are a bit shy, plants will provide shelter, but they will also leave some open areas for them to swim in.
When startled, these fish will immediately rush out of the tank so it is best to have a glass cover. Because these Light-Eye Fish are easily startled, it's best to have your lights timed to coincide with the time of the sun. To avoid startling the fish in the morning, be sure not to turn on the tank lights when the room is too dark.
