    The "Forktail Rainbow" likely refers to the Forktail Blue-Eye (Pseudomugil furcatus), a species of freshwater fish known for its vibrant colors and striking appearance. Forktail Blue-Eyes belong to the family Pseudomugilidae and are native to Australia and New Guinea. They are also commonly referred to as "Forktail Rainbowfish" due to their rainbow-like colors and the distinctive forked shape of their tails.
