> I recently bought eight fish sold as Forktail Rainbows. In all of my
> meanderings through Rainbow pictures and discussion on the web, I have
> never seen them referenced.
> Here goes the description. First off, they are not the typical
> rainbow deep body, instead shallower like a Killie or guppy. The
> "Forktail" moniker derives from a tail edged top and bottom in bright
> yellow, grey or black in the middle. I think the most unusual feature is
> the set of pectoral fins that actually extend upwards to the top of the
> fish, again edged in yellow as are all of the fins. The body is a shiny
> silver and the eyes are blue.
> Any ideas as to the true identity of these little guys and where I
> might see a picture? Also, what would be the adult breeding size? Any
> help greatly appreciated.
