Mysterious fish fry

binbin9 · 02-12-2013, 05:49 AM

Nice any updates on these?

Thanks for asking, Binbin.

Still thinking they're P. furcatus. They do have markings down their sides, so I can't be positive. They are slow growing, so not entirely sure that the water parameters are really right for them.

I'll post new pics as soon as I can.

Thanks for waking up this thread, bud!

Pseudomugils are my favorites! They are wonderful fish, feisty and personable. My gertrudaes bred easily, but I didn't have a set up to keep the babies in. The adults would find and eat them within a couple days.

Here's a picture or two of the fish from a few minutes ago. Any ideas what they are?

**Rob in Puyallup** · 02-13-2013, 02:20 PM

Another one.

Still looking like Pseudomugil furcatus to me, not fully colored up.

The finnage certainly looks like it belongs to a rainbowfish.

Naw, don't think so. Still thinking some sort of rainbow.
