They enjoy the water to be stained with tannins (Almond leaves would be perfect as cover as well). Some floating plants such as Salvinia also give them a sense of calm. Java Moss is great to give the eggs and fry cover since the adults will try and eat them.

The Forktail Blue-Eye Rainbowfish is one of the most beautiful species of freshwater aquarium fish. Known for its bright blue eyes and vibrant colors, it is a popular choice for home aquariums. This Rainbowfish prefers to be kept in small groups of 8-10 individuals.  We feed them a large variety of foods which include finely ground Northfin flake foods, small Northfin pellets (veggie, community, & bug pro), frozen foods.

Their scientific name is Pseudomugil furcatus.

Super active with great blue eyes!

I have been a fan of Flip Aquatics for some time, but usually shop at my local fish store. Until the time came that I wanted some special fish not commonly available. The Forktail Blue-Eye Rainbowfish were on my short list. To be sure, a couple other places online carried them and some a little cheaper, but I trusted Flip Aquatics the most when it came to their quarantining process which gave me greater confidence that I would receive healthy fish.

Also their customer service is top notch! Typically, being able to specify sex is not possible. I understood this and just left a note if they could do the best they could to give me a good ratio. Mega thanks to Lauren for coming thru! I ordered 18 and she got me 9 males and 9 females! Too Cool!

I have had these guys in my quarantine tank for just over a week so far. All still healthy with no losses. They are super active darting around the tank with their piercing blue eyes. They are eating well and devour most everything I feed them, though they are young and small so the food size needs to be kept in mind. A few more weeks and they will be moved to my main tanks.

This was my first time ordering from Flip Aquatics and they did awesome. Thank you!
