Short Bigeye (Pristigenys alta)
The Short Bigeye, also known as the Toro Bigeye, is a striking deep-water species recognized for its vibrant red coloration and large reflective eyes. These oversized eyes help the fish navigate low-light environments, giving it a unique and distinctive appearance in the aquarium.
Short Bigeyes are generally peaceful and do best in aquariums with dimmer lighting, rockwork for shelter, and a calm tank environment. They typically spend much of their time hovering near caves or shaded areas and become more active during lower light periods.
This species adapts well to aquarium life when offered a varied diet of meaty marine foods such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and finely chopped seafood.
A unique and eye-catching addition for hobbyists looking to add something a little different to their marine aquarium.
