Excellent tutorial.

[@AquaMalik]

Many thanks! glad you enjoyed it mate! cheers!

[@jamesholbrook7785]

I live at the head of the river where the rainbow Shiners originate.

[@AquaMalik]

@@jamesholbrook7785 That's amazing mate! I'm spawning them again! actually in the process of editing the new video.. have about 50 fry from previous attempt.. they are gorgeous I bet its a sight to see them in their natural habitat!

[@jamesholbrook7785]

I wish you the best in your spawning effort. Someday you’ll have to come and see the river they are located as my guest.

[@AquaMalik]

Beautiful fish✨ nuptial coloration👍✨

[@AquaMalik]

Thank you! Yeah they are always turned on too 💯

I just ordered 24 rainbow shiners and about 40 White Cloud Mountain minnows (a dozen of them gold) to go in my 270 gallon fancy goldfish aquarium. I can’t wait to get them! I love seeing yours with the goldfish. They are not common in the hobby and I love the idea of having an unheated aquarium.

[@eyadjamus7126]

You can put white clouds, zebra danios and golden barbs with them. That's what I have with mine and they are doing amazingly well.

[@AquaMalik]

Amazing 💯

[@coalbear1]

I use these for fish bait in Tenn. Just sein them in the creeks.

[@AquaMalik]

amazing .. they are gorgeous in aquariums and ponds too!

[@souIsynapse]

I have to keep my water level like 4 in below the top because I can't keep the temperature down without a fan and I'm tired of finding fish chips on my floor 🥲

[@AquaMalik]

They can be jumpers sometimes

[@michaelharrity9795]

I want some of these

[@AquaMalik]

they are so rewarding and nice little fish!

[@gasbike100mpg]

hello Malik, i like these fish, nobody sells them locally, where did you get yours, and what is a fair price for them. thanks

[@AquaMalik]

they are a bit rare and harder to find! a fair price depending on where you are (southern US free cause that's where they are from!) to about $7 to $10 here in Canada! I would assume they are similarly priced in Europe too! check with local fish clubs! best of luck!!! Cheers!

[@gasbike100mpg]

@@AquaMalik found a place, 10 bucks

[@AquaMalik]

@@gasbike100mpg amazing congratulations! looking forward to an update soon! cheers!

[@renewillard777]

Just got mine from a LFS in New Orleans, called Aquatic Sealife. 18$ a pop, I checked all major online stores and sources. Nobody has them in stock. I’m going to Alabama soon to collect some wild caught rainbow shiners. I want to get my hands on the rainbow shiner “type 2”.

[@lowkeyblowed]

​@@AquaMalik I just caught two out a creek in the woods behind my crib

[@nickdabruzzo8606]

Could these fit in a 10 gallon. If so, how many?

[@AquaMalik]

If it’s a smaller group of about 5 to 7 fish I don’t see why not ! Cheers

[@CociesrosHp]

that is way to small for shiners, 10 gallon only work for the smallest fish species. Shrimp or a betta can fit in a tank of that size, or maybe a small group (5-7) of Hyphessobrycon amandae. Rainbow shiners should have a minimum of 30 gallons. 20 gallons is ok for shorter periods like when breeding them.

[@AquaMalik]

in the winter about 70F to 73F and a bit warmer in the summer! they don't seem to do well above 75F long term. hope that helps! cheers mate!

[@michaelharrity9795]

[@AquaMalik]

they are quite rare unfortunately and might soon be added to the list of endangered species
