Fish Folk Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Just visited my LFS. A local breeder dropped off some Pseudomugil she bred recently. The source stock for her brooders claimed they were P. furcata. But I am not certain. Any Rainbow pros want to make a call?? (I’ll keep my guess secret for now) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Folk Posted May 20, 2023 Author Share Posted May 20, 2023 I was 90% there. I think it’s another, but very difficult to tell between… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 They look exactly like my luminatus. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted May 20, 2023 Author Share Posted May 20, 2023 I agree, very hard to tell. After another assessment of the shipping data, they _appear_ to be Pseudomugil paskai (Paska’s Blue-eye). I bought 6x, added to my son’s tank. I’ll take footage tomorrow and share in a followup here. Honestly… I often question the accuracy of a few of these shipper’s taxonomical claims. Got them for $3 / each. Hard to beat that! If they’re luminatus, sheesh! that’s a steal 🤑 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biotope Biologist Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 (edited) I was going to say there is an “as of yet unnamed” Psuedomugil sp ‘super red’ that according to genetic sequence is paskai hybridized with gertrudae Those look suspiciously like them.

anewbie Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 I'm trying to digest this - is this another asian produced hybrid ? Btw some asian farms have started producing hybrid botia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted May 21, 2023 Author Share Posted May 21, 2023 Here’s a minute look. There’s Glowlight Pygmy Barbs in there too. Don’t get confused… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like there isn't much on google as well. They look very pretty, just like green kubotai rasbora Is this their normal color or glofish type of coloring? I want them! :') 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
