Peaceful schooling fish that you can keep in a special
aquarium for rainbow fishes. He is also suitable for
the community aquarium with other peaceful fishes. The
aquarium should be planted densely on the sides and
background. In the middle you should leave a lot of free
swimming space, A dark substrate and a dimmed light by
using floating plants bring out the colours of the fish.
A good filter and a regular changing of the water are
necessary. He is omnivorous. You should give him a great variety of live, frozen and dry food. Breeding is easy. The eggs are laid and fertilized between fine leaved plants daily. The eggs hatch after 7-10 days dependent on the temperature. When the young fishes are swimming free you can feed them with very small infusoria and later with Artemia-nauplii and fine crushed eggyolk. The quality of the young fishes is sometimes very bad. A severe selection is recommended. |
