Spotted Blue-eye Fucata or Pseudomugil gertrudae
Spotted Blue-eye Fucata or Pseudomugil gertrudae are just exquisite fish. They are not as shy as some Pseudomugil can be. Very interactive and playful. They will do well if you feed them Hikari Micro Pellets or Dennerle Complete Gourmet Menu.

Spotted Blue-eye Fucata or Pseudomugil gertrudae is a shoaling species and should be kept in a group of at least 8-10 specimens, ideally more. Maintaining it in such numbers will not only make the fish less nervous but result in a more effective, natural-looking display.

Beautiful nano fish. Tank mates with galaxy rasboras, instantly made the rasboras more comfortable with swimming out in the open. Their blue eyes are almost like a killifish lampeye.

Arrived quickly with no DOAs. Very beautiful little fish. I order fish often from different places but McMerwe’s fish always appear to be much happier and healthier. If I could, I would order livestock exclusively from McMerwe.
