Blue Eye Forktail Rainbowfish

Pseudomugil furcatus

Why We Love This Fish

  • Verified shrimp-safe species
  • Quarantined before shipping
  • Stunning in planted tanks
  • Peaceful community fish

Blue Eye Forktails (Pseudomugil furcatus) are active schooling fish with electric blue eyes and bright yellow forked fins. Their constant movement makes them especially visible in planted community tanks.

They are strong jumpers and need a secure lid.

Care Notes

Use a secure lid and provide open horizontal swimming space. Keep the group large enough to show natural activity.

Feed small foods and maintain stable water with moderate flow.

Build a Better Aquarium

Plants That Pair Perfectly
