Forktail Rainbow (Pseudomugil furcatus)
The Forktail Rainbow (Pseudomugil furcatus) are just exquisite fish. They are not as shy as some Pseudomugil can be. Very interactive and playful. They will do well if you feed them Hikari Micro Pellets or Dennerle Complete Gourmet Menu.
*Please note: For the safety of the livestock, we only ship livestock Monday – Wednesday. Please plan accordingly. We mainly sell juvenile livestock, but adults will be sent if available. We also do not sex livestock for any client, we will send a mix if available (this is to make it fair for everybody). This is company policy.
