Ptereleotris microlepis

Common name: Blue Eleotris Fish. This fish has an elongated blue-silver body. For its well-being, it is preferable to have a sand bed in the aquarium so it can build its protective burrow. The edges of the aquarium must be secured to prevent any escape because, like any dart fish, it is capable of jumping out of the water.

Ptereleotris microlepis – Silver Blue Dartfish for Reef Aquarium

Ptereleotris microlepis, also known as the Blue Dartfish, is a reef fish with a fusiform, slender, and elongated body, featuring striking silver blue reflections. Highly popular in reef aquariums, this dartfish adds grace and movement to the open water areas of your marine aquarium.

Native to the tropical reefs of the Indo-Pacific, this fish belongs to the dartfish family, known for their rapid swimming and lively behavior. It prefers sandy substrates and areas rich in hiding places, where it can establish its protective burrow.

Behavior and Compatibility

The Ptereleotris microlepis is a peaceful, sociable, and shy fish that lives in pairs or small groups. It adapts perfectly to a community reef tank and cohabits very well with other peaceful species as well as invertebrates.

It is recommended to provide it with an aquarium featuring rocks and a fine sand bed so it can dig a burrow to retreat to when stressed. Caution, like all dartfish, it is capable of jumping out of the water: a lid or edge protection on the aquarium is essential.

Care Conditions

  • Minimum recommended volume: 150 liters
  • Temperature: 24°C to 27°C
  • pH: 8.0 to 8.4
  • Decor: sand bed, live rocks, many hiding places
  • Water flow: moderate to strong

Feeding

This dartfish is carnivorous and readily accepts:

  • Live or frozen brine shrimp
  • Mysis, plankton, finely chopped krill
  • Floating or sinking pellets suitable for small marine fish

A varied diet ensures healthy growth and a beautiful silvery coloration.

Why Choose Ptereleotris microlepis?

  • Elegant and bright silver blue color
  • Peaceful behavior and smooth swimming
  • Active and discreet reef fish
  • Compatible with corals, invertebrates, and calm fish
  • Easy to acclimate in pairs or small groups

Ptereleotris microlepis is the ideal companion for aquarists seeking a lively, graceful reef fish that is compatible with a community environment. With its smooth swimming and subtle colors, it enhances the open water areas of your reef tank.
