HI guys, Looking for stocking options for a 180 gallon tank I'm about to finish building. Can rainbows, particularly dwarf neons, mountain rainbows, and bosmanI rainbows be kept with peaceful cichlids. I'm thinking along the line of bolivian rams and keyhole cichlids. Are there any options in...
My question relates to keeping different species of Rainbowfish together, and proper numbers, schools, etc. From seeing posts, advice, etc. from various members of this forum, it seems like the popular school of thought here is that each species of Rainbowfish should be kept in their own "proper" school (6+ fish).
Ok. Sounds good. Rainbowfish can be more aggressive if overstocked or if the tank is too small. At this point you are ok but will need a bigger tank (minimum 55 gal) to keep the Boesemani long term. Could be just a feisty female. I may not bet my house on it but I'm pretty confident that the fish in pic 1 is a female and the other one is male.

Hello, I have a well established 29 gallon high that is completely empty atmo, and I was thinking about getting 6 Neon Dwarf Rainbow fish. The tank would just have the rainbow fish, along with shrimp, and maybe a few Oto's. There aren't any live plants in the tank currently but I plan on...
First of all Its good to know that there are at least 4 different "types" of rainbowfish common in the trade that I have seen plenty of and is prowd to own some of these amazing fish. Melanotaenia - These are probably the most common genus and average about 13cm excluding BosmanI which reach 10cm and Pracox which are Dwarf reaching 6cm. e.g ...
