Yippie!! Reptiles and Fishies!
Many would think these are Telmatherina celebensis, Celebes rainbow...but they aren't...

Definitely Pseudomugil furcatus
I really though it is Celebes Rainbow but the 2nd Dorsal is not as elongated as a Celebes, thats why i have a hard time identifying it ....
Thank Guys. Think this is it....

Not an awfully agile swimmer but very active ...
I have got my forktail Rainbows for more than a week now ..
I have fed Hikari Micro Wafers, Freeze-Dried Bloodworms and Forzen Bloodworm ...
The rainbows will just take a bite or two afterwhich, they will lose interest about eating those again. (Grabbing them and then spitting them out)
Can i know what Bros/Sis here feed to their Forktails in which the fish likes ... Will prefer it to be brand specific.
Thanks
Never create what you can't control
Do they look healthy to you? I am sure they won't reject the frozen bloodworm. Have they been eating them? Food that is too hard or too big to be swallowed may be spit out.
FYI, I feed my P. gertrudae with flakes, pellets and frozen bloodworm. I don't see them being fussy about food.
They are still pretty active.
I actually have no luck with the frozen blood worms. All they did was take a sniff and that's it. These guys of mine are still small (~2.5cm) so I deliberately fed them with smallest of worms after de-frosting the cube.
May i know what pellets and flakes are you using ... ?
Never create what you can't control
If it can fit the mouth, I am pretty sure they should take it.
How many P. furcatus do you have in the tank? What other fishes are in there?
I feed them TetraPro Colour/Vegetable and NLS Thera + A. However, flakes alone may not be nutritional enough, so you should continue to try feeding frozen bloodworm.
Perhaps, try this. Feed them on flakes for 3 to 4 days. Then feed them frozen bloodworm and see if they are interested.
I have 3 of them with 2 Corydoras Habrosus as Tankmates.
Thanks for the advises, Mod.
