lol - Kevin's working on that for me

Here's some info if anyone wants

Potential Size: Male: 6cm (2.6")
Female: 6cm (2.6")

Water Region: Middle Surface; Middle-Surface

Activity: Diurnal; Diurnal

Gender: Males are generally more colourful and have a longer dorsal fin than females.

Breeding: Not difficult to breed. The Pseudomugil furcatus lays only a few large eggs at a time and the female will lay about 5 to 10 eggs a day. Eggs will be laid in bushy plants or on the substrate. Remove eggs and put them into a small container. Hatching takes 7-10 days. After eggs hatch move fry into a smaller tank with shallow water.

Variants: Comments: A very colourful fish and is a great addition to any community aquairum. These fish grow very rapidly and like fresh water. Very undemanding as long as good food is given to them and regular water changes are provided. The furcata rainbow comes from a highly vegitated ecosystem so provide lots of plants. Plants provide places for the females to hide in which limits aggression. Recommened for community aquariums.

Main Colours: Green, Yellow, Blue

BTW - the picture is horrid and blurry.

I knew that was coming. lol

My stance is that the picture is in focus, and the bag is blurry. Obviously, not my fault.

But - I've been unable to get an in-focus shot since they've been in the tank. They're freaking fast. I'll keep trying.

Nice, whats the sellers name?

For the photo, can you get more light over the tank? That will allow you to shoot at a faster shutter=no blur

[neilanh]

I got them from LotsofFish.

Light's not the problem. The problem is I can't get the camera to focus on them, not that they're moving making it blurry. Just a point and shoot, the manual focus option on it isn't really that fast.
