The Blue Eye Forktail Rainbowfish is an excellent inhabitant for any community or planted aquarium. Also known as the Blue-Eyed Forktail or Furcata Rainbowfish, it is native to the densely planted rainforest streams of eastern Papua New Guinea. This fish has proven to be very adaptable in aquaria, and we are pleased to offer extremely high-quality, tank-raised specimens.
The Blue Eye Forktail Rainbowfish features some of the most impressive coloration available in freshwater fish, with their gorgeous, bright blue eyes being especially impressive. It has a gray to green body coloration with bright yellow edges on all of its fins with black margins on the rear dorsal, anal, and caudal (tail) fins. While these colors are more faint in juveniles, they intensify as the fish reaches adulthood as long as a varied diet of high-quality omnivorous foods are provided. The best coloration can be achieved in schools of 6 or more, with multiple males as well as females. Omnivorous flake foods as well as live, freeze-dried and frozen foods will make an excellent staple diet. Hardy aquarium plants will not be bothered.
As with many fish that inhabit the middle and upper areas of the aquarium, the Forktail Rainbowfish is prone to jumping occasionally. A hood/canopy or lower water level is recommended to ensure that this fish does not jump out of the aquarium. The only other housing requirements for this fish are clean, stable water conditions and ample areas of cover, particularly vegetation. Floating plants such as duckweed and hornwort are very beneficial to this strictly schooling fish.
Absolutely beautiful Lwanda Peacock Cichlid! The fish arrived in excellent condition, and its colors and overall appearance are even better than expected. You can tell this is a high-quality fish, and it’s going to be an amazing addition to my aquarium. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to add a stunning Lwanda Peacock to their collection. Very happy with this fish! Highly recommend!
Beautiful Pink with Pink spots. Gorgeous fish. As always arrived healthy and ready to go. He is very happy in his new home.

This place is great I've placed to large orders 20 fish each and the fish are of exceptional quality. They're shipping technique is completely dialed in. When I received my fish they were so lively I was amazed! I acclimated them let them go and they started feeding immediately. I was skeptical of the whole buying fish and having them ship thing. After my first two orders, I realized there is nothing to worry about with that. I also had a couple questions, and the communication was quick and the knowledgeable staff was able to answer my questions. I also like there high quality fish food.I would highly recommend this company!
