Yeah I've been researching rainbows for almost a year and this was the first i've heard of it. Luckily the tank I get this month will be a 90g, so 4ft as Dan recommends :D

I have one..can't find more. But it's now 2 years old and about 5 1/2" Longest Rainbow in the tank,but a 5" almost M.boesemani is built like a tank and he's dominant in the 240 gallon. ALL Rainbows are great fish. They are like...small cichlids interesting too. Only nobody kills the other guy...ever.

Also- Rainbows will eat soft leafed plants. Or the new growth on plants they usually ignore.

I live in Queensland I have a few and planning on doing another trip to the creeks to get more colour varieties

Those are awesome. Love their colors.

Thanks Matthew, They are even better now that they have had some time to settle in...you should see the males flash, it is awesome!

I have two and they used to have a complete top dorsal fin but when I came from school one day there dorsal fins had a split and I thought that they had a fight with my other fish. But this video clarified. Soo thanks man😉

Those are beautiful fish. Wish I had more tank space to get some. Maybe some day. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

I went to Walmart and asked for 2 Giant Danios. When I got home, and placed them in the tank, I discovered that they were not Danios, but Rainbow Fish, particularly when placed against my other Danios. I like them anyway. I'm not mad.

Sounds like a deal to me. Rainbows are usually quite a bit more expensive than giant danios. Enjoy!

I keep 10 of these guys with 18 danios. They're actually timid compared to the danios :P

What PH and Temperatures are optimal

They can take a wide range of pH, but seem to adjust more quickly to hard/alkaline water. Mine are in soft water (that's what comes out of the tap here) and they take a while to adjust. Temps...anywhere from the mid-70's to low-80's F have always worked well for me.
