The Turquiose Rainbowfish is a great, easy schooling fish that will shimmer as they scoot around the aquarium. They have a fairly small adult size, so they are well suited for smaller aquariums. They are an excellent recommendation for planted aquarium enthusiasts and will thrive in an aquascaped setup. Most Rainbowfish will show their best colors and brightest at sunrise. Males will be more brightly colored compared to females. This Rainbowfish is considered peaceful but use caution if adding to a community tank because they can easily be outcompeted. Feed them a varied diet of flakes, small meaty foods and small pellets.

ACCLIMATION: Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. For new aquariums, adding new fish slowly helps to properly develop the nitrogen cycle, which creates a safe environment for your aquatic pets. A bacteria booster may also help develop a new aquarium for your new fish. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried, and frozen food, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller, unfiltered aquariums.
