Well the multisqumatus were probably hybrids. The furcatus is a "real" fish
but it is a Pseudomugil. They are available from us fish nerds fairly
regularly so if you ever want then Chris Drew is probably the one with
them... I keep the conniea which is nearly the same only with black and
yellow in the finns.
