No, but I should imagine they're the same as the rest of the Pseudomugil family to keep.

Found the Latin name: Pseudomugil luminatus.
Beautiful little fish from Timika, Papua Province, Indonesia and don't mind our hard water. With a maximum size of 4cm, I'd be careful that you don't keep them with any boisterous tank mates.

These fish are on the IUCN Red List Status (IUCN Red List - Pseudomugil luminatus) and listed as endangered.
If you do get these fish @stanster, if at all possible, please try and breed them.
Breeding seems pretty straight forward. Link: Michael Jensen - Keeping and breeding The Red Neon Blue Eye (Rainbowfish) – Pseudomugil luminatus

Greetings & welcome to
Do bare in mind that's a mature male in full colour. Most of the time, you'll find their colour looks more like the image below and maybe paler in a aquatics store aquarium.
