Rainbowfish Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Rainbowfish in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: intermediate
• Temperament: peaceful
• Diet: omnivore
• Minimum tank size: 30 gallons (for smaller species), 55+ gallons (for larger species)
• Compatibility: Excellent community fish, compatible with other peaceful, similarly sized fish. Best kept in groups of 6 or more of their own species.
• Special requirements: Require well-oxygenated water, ample swimming space, and a planted tank with open areas. Coloration is best displayed in a mature, stable aquarium with good water quality and a varied diet. Males often 'flash' their colors during courtship or territorial displays.
