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.
