I hope to be getting some forktail blue eyes (pseudomugil furcatus) soon which I plan to put in a 50-60 L tank, heavily planted with red cherry shrimp and nerite snails ( along with a few hundred pest species of snail namely Ramshorn and MTS). Has anyone kept these before and are there any tips/ tricks I need to be aware of with them? Eg Prefer harder water or more forgiving like Pacific Blue Eyes in the water department? Prone to committing suicide? I keep open topped tanks, the tank they are going into has lid (but the light stopped working and I find it gets too hot with the lid down.
Once I get these guys I am then looking at possibly branching out into Neon Blue Eyes (pseudomugil cyanodorsalis), which is another species I would love to know if anyone has kept and bred successfully without to many dramas.
This is the tank I am planning on putting the Forktail Blue Eyes in.
