Pseudomugil luminatus is native to Papua New Guinea, specifically found in the Timika region of West Papua. They inhabit small slow moving streams and creeks that have loads of dense vegetation and aquatic plants. Typically you find them in decently big schools of 50-100+ fish the more fish the better.
They are a social species of fish that puts on awesome displays and courtship between males and females when breeding. The males flair up extend there fins and color up to get into a courtship or potentially to fight off competition.
We source these fish from a breeder in taiwan they are top notch quality and don’t use any hormones or additives to the water to make the fish look better or grow better.
Tank parameters
Temperature 62° - 82°
PH 6-7.5 dGH
GH 5-30 dGH
These fish are extremely hardy and can tolerate a huge range of parameters most tap water and well water will be able to house these fish.
Tank size 5 gallons for a pair 10 gallons for a group of 6 fish
Breeding
Typically you want 2 or more pairs and you need to provide a spawning mop or vegetation for them to lay there eggs they will eat the eggs/fry they have so you need to pull the eggs and hatch into a separate container with a air stone and some flow not a ton of flow but just a little to break the surface.
How to trigger spawning most of the time they will breed on there own if you feed them a good varied diet but if you are struggling to get them to lay eggs I recommend doing a cold water change not super cold but maybe a 6 degree temperature difference and also feeding them tons of live foods.
After they hatch you want to feed them a dry fry powder I personally have used Sera Micron Nature Fry Food with very good success. You can also use green water which will also work pretty well for getting them up to size. After about 1-2 weeks they should be big enough to feed live baby brine shrimp or alternatives to get optimal growth I suggest live foods in general and a temperature of around 78 degrees.
