Spotted Blue Eyes 'Cadell River' live in very large schools in areas
with dense vegetation, so it is an ideal candidate for the planted
aquarium and especially enjoys the cover of floating plants. Males
display iridescent yellow and blue coloration on their bodies and fins,
particularly while competing with other males. The second dorsal and
anal fins of males become very extended and fan-like with maturity.
Females are typically smaller and often possess an attractive
orange-yellow hue.
The most intense colour will be displayed when this fish is kept in
schools of 6 or more, in a heavily planted, spacious aquarium. As with
many rainbow fish, darker substrate will also often result in better
coloration.
