Forktail Rainbowfish (School of 5)

The beautiful diminutive Forktail Rainbow is very active when swimming in a school of males and females.

Quick Facts

Care Guide

Tank setup: Give them a planted tank with gentle filtration, some floating plants and a lid. They are small, so a sponge over the filter intake keeps them safe.

Feeding: Feed crushed flake or micro pellets once or twice a day, only as much as they eat in a couple of minutes. They also enjoy frozen brine shrimp.

Tankmates: Blue-eyes are small and gentle, so keep them with other small, peaceful fish such as rasboras, small tetras, pygmy corydoras and shrimp.

Good to know: Forktail rainbows have bright yellow fins and blue eyes, and males show their best colors when females are around.
