About the Forktail Rainbowfish

Name: Forktail Rainbowfish

Max Size: Forktail Rainbowfish typically grows up to 2.5-3 inches in length.

Water Parameters: Forktail Rainbowfish thrive in slightly acidic to neutral water conditions with a pH range of 6.5-7.5. The temperature should be maintained between 75Β°F and 82Β°F. Regular water changes and good filtration are important to maintain optimal water quality.

Diet: Forktail Rainbowfish are omnivorous and have a varied diet. They accept high-quality dry flakes or pellets as their staple diet. Supplement their diet with live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, daphnia, and small insects. They also enjoy nibbling on algae and vegetable matter.

Temperament: Forktail Rainbowfish are peaceful and generally get along well with other community fish. They are best kept in small groups of at least 6 individuals to promote natural schooling behavior and minimize stress.

Tank Setup: Provide a well-planted aquarium with plenty of open swimming space for Forktail Rainbowfish. They appreciate the presence of floating plants and driftwood, which provide shade and create natural habitats. A sandy or fine-gravel substrate is suitable for their bottom-dwelling behavior.

Compatibility: Forktail Rainbowfish are peaceful and can be kept with other peaceful community fish. Avoid housing them with aggressive or fin-nipping species. They coexist well with other similarly sized fish that occupy different levels of the aquarium.

Behavior: Forktail Rainbowfish are known for their vibrant colors and energetic swimming behavior. They are active swimmers and enjoy exploring their surroundings. They display schooling behavior and can be seen swimming together in synchronized movements. Males often exhibit territorial behaviors during breeding.

Fun Fact: The Forktail Rainbowfish, also known as Pseudomugil furcatus, is prized for its striking appearance. Its iridescent blue body, contrasting black forked tail, and red or orange fins make it a visually captivating addition to any aquarium. With their peaceful nature and active swimming behavior, Forktail Rainbowfish bring life and color to community setups.

Perhaps the best store on island to get freshwater fish. They have a huge variety, including higher end freshwater fish (discus, puffers, flowerhorns , oddballs, ect) I’ve stocked a few tanks with their fish. They quarantine well and keep it real on how their fish are doing in shop.

Had a great experience here. I was looking for a unicorn/alicorn betta and spoke with the owner, Josh, about it. I ended up using his fish importing services to import a fish from Jakarta, and he brought in a few more white opaque or unicorn type half moon bettas too, to add to the variety in store. I got a sneak peak of the store while it was shut down for one week for a proper quarantine of its new fish. The owner knows his fish and keeps them healthy. A very different experience from a Petco or PetSmart! A Petco employee even recommended I go here for more unique betta fish. Note that they carry other types of fish too, plus Aquatic plants and some aquarium equipment. Pictured are some of the giant bettas, the alicorn betta, and i believe a beautiful ram.

Wonderful shop with lots of variety. Has the most unique selection of fish on the island, and at a reasonable price! Staff is friendly and very helpful when we have questions or concerns. Love coming here and seeing the jokes around the store. Also, Vinnie!

The owner, Josh, is not just knowledgeable about the fish, but also plants and tank issues. I am new to fish tanks and he has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions to make my experience easier. Parking is a bit tricky, but certainly worth it.

They have rare plants you can't find at most places. Got lucky we got a few; my husband is happy. This is one of his favorite places. They get pretty busy, so be patient. The staff are very helpful.
