Any Rainbowfish Folks out there?
Thanks Ray and Donna,
I am disappointed to learn that my 29g is not big enough for those beautifully colored rainbows! I had looked them up on a couple of fish sites that said a 30g was the minimum size for them. I assumed it only expected a few fish would go into a few the tank. But I don’t want them to have miserable lives with me. My goal was to do a fairly heavily planted tank with some colorful fish. I just fell in love with those 4 to 5 inch rainbows when I saw the picture.
I have looked at the smaller rainbows to which you refer, Ray. I think I want something with more variety in the color even though those are really beautiful fish. I might put those in with something else if they do not need to be schooled in large numbers.
I am not stuck on rainbows if you have any other suggestions. I do not want aggressive fish. I really do not want fish fights. The tank is a 29g long. Ahhh, a blank canvas!
I think guppies are a bit smaller than I want right now. Mollies can be aggressive, though it’s been about 13 years since I have had mollies and I was a novice fish keeper back then so maybe my technique caused their behavior?
Thank you, again for your advice. Deb
