Many would think these are Telmatherina celebensis, Celebes rainbow...but they aren't...
These i think are Pseudomugil furcatus

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
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 ... ?
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.
