Furcata Rainbow
The forktailed rainbowfish, Pseudomugil furcatus, is easy to breed, beautifully colored and relatively hardy. Less than two inches when fully grown, this small rainbowfish fits in well with other small shoaling fish in a well-planted community aquarium. Providing that this fish is transferred over to its new aquarium home slowly, it will adapt to a wide range of water conditions ranging from soft and slightly acidic water to hard and alkaline.
