Forktail Rainbow
Forktail Rainbowfish are known from clear, slow-moderately moving lowland tropical rainforest streams with thick vegetative cover. These diminutive fish are members of the family Pseudomugilidae (Blue Eyes). They make wonderful additions to the small-medium planted aquarium housing other petite, peaceful species, or even showcased as a single species shoal in a high end aquascape.
