Looking for advice on these rainbows.
I'm researching my next tank mates for a few weeks time and have seen conflicting advice regarding tank size for these.
My tank is 110L, planted, parameters seem to match for this species and my rasboras and Cory's seem to match with these fish.
Any advice on these fish welcome !
Thanks
Pseudomugil furcatus

What is your water hardness?
Forktails prefer hard water, whereas corys (and probably the rasbora) prefer soft water.
What are the dimensions of the tank?
They’re not a very big fish so dont need a huge amount of room, and they are very entertaining to watch. I kept signifer rainbows for a short time, if your water is soft/softer it may be worth looking at a few of the other pseudomugil species

Threadfins are good in softer water.

I kept a few for a while but suspect they were being eaten by some empire gudgeon I had at same time. They do stick to the upper regions of the tank. I've also had P gertrudii but I'm down to my last of those too. The furcatus are handsome fish if you can keep them happy.
