The Norman's Lampeye Killifish (Poropanchax normani) is a charming and peaceful freshwater fish highly prized in the aquarium hobby for its shimmering, iridescent blue eyes and diminutive size. Growing to a maximum of 1.5 inches (4 cm), these slender, torpedo-shaped fish boast a translucent, silvery-gold body that allows their prominent, almost neon-blue eyes to truly stand out, especially in a dimly lit aquarium. They are a schooling species and thrive in groups of 6 or more, displaying more natural behaviors and reducing shyness. Ideal for nano tanks or planted community aquariums, they require stable water parameters with a temperature range of 72-79°F (22-26°C), a pH of 6.0-7.5, and soft to moderately hard water. A well-planted tank with floating vegetation provides cover and enhances their sense of security. Norman's Lampeyes are micropredators and will readily accept high-quality flake food, micro-pellets, and a variety of small live or frozen foods like brine shrimp, daphnia, and bloodworms. They are compatible with other peaceful, small-mouthed species such as small tetras, rasboras, and dwarf shrimp. Their gentle nature and captivating 'lampeye' make them a delightful and easy-to-care-for addition to any suitable aquarium.
