jeremoose Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) The more I see of these fish the more the wife and I want to have a Rainbowfish tank possibly with some fancy plecos. We are set on Boesemani Rainbows for sure but what other rainbows can we keep in the tank? Will be a heavily planted, well filtered, 90g. Thanks. EDIT: nothing TOO crazy please, I would prefer it to be a fish I don't have to order in and ideally a fish that is locally bred.

Tigs Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 get ahold of Rainbowrick and Galeen on the boards here. Between the two of them you might be VERY surprised at what's available locally So far I've got a group of 6 parkisons, 6 pagai village, 4 skull creek, and 7 deep waters with my bosi's coming soon After that I need to buy a new house to keep the fish in as I'm at the limits with my wife lol cheers, Antonio actually, pretty sure Rick has some pagai village up at the moment, and Galeen likely still has some deep waters. (I'm not one for their proper names sorry ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvision Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 I currently have 4 different spp. in a 120gal planted... And all of them are spawning regularly! Though, to raise fry, I need to separate them to a species spawning tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigs Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 I've got mine scattered about the house I'm trying to ensure I don't mix species in which (to me) the females are hard to tell apart. The males are no brainers, they look so different Hence, 90G has parkis, 30G has skull creek and deep waters atm, 2nd 30G has the pagai village group. I've gone for 3 pairs of all but the skull creek which are 2 pairs, hoping to make these my first breeding project. cheers, Antonio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigs Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 personally jump on the bosi's and deep water creek (bunch of 6) would be a decent start very colourful fish cheers, Antonio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
