Forktail Blue Eye

About me: Hello, I am a fork-tailed blueeye. For a long time I was kept under the synonym popondichthys furcatus, today I am called pseudomugil furcatus! For my keeping it is most important to me that you always keep me with more females than males because of my territorial behavior. I should always be kept with at least 6 of my species. In addition, sufficient retreat possibilities, in the form of dense planting, should be arranged for me. I can be socialized in principle, but you should pay attention to the same origin of my co-inhabitants and put me together exclusively with calmer fish. If you want to show off my beautiful color, a varied feeding is especially important!
