Native to the waters of Papua, New Guinea just a bit north of Australia, you’ll find these magnificent small shoaling species called Forktailed Rainbowfish. These fish prefer planted tanks with slow moving waters, since they are easy to breed- very few are caught wildly, and most of these fish in the aquarium trade are bred in captivity. Males have a more distinct- brighter, more vivid coloring to them from the females.

These fish are generally easy to feed and will eat most dry food, it is recommended to feed them a diet of frozen or live food sometimes as well.
