I have the 240g and they do not look tiny in that..the plain boesemani makes it to(so far) about 4 and 3/4 inches..deep body and wide too. In fact when they swim right at you..its like they have human forward set eyes. I do also have a Male hybrid(bought that way) M.trifasciatus and its grown to be the longest of them all at 5+"..yet the male boesemani is numero uno fish,built like a tank. I do have lacustris and New Guinea..I have had losses after over a year of perfection..near two,New fish,non rainbows infected the tank. Why some died when all the rest recovered after treatment is the usual mystery. I'm now holding out for those red boese's..but never seen them for sale and LFT says covid has made it lucky for him to get what he gets. Rainbows in a large tank? Prefer mid to low water areas of the tank...meaning Giant danio's or other surface fish have room to roam too. I doubt Rainbows care if you add plants..they will eat soft leaved plants...but they do like to swim around tree "roots" usually portrayed by branches stuck in the gravel and to the surface. Great fish after 40 years near 50 really,I think they are the best and never had a bit of regret or feeling of "trade them away". Nope, the 240 is home for life.

Bently, can you talk about what you feed your rainbow fish (Boesemani rainbow and others of similar size)? I know you have other videos on fish food discussion. For example, you discussed using frozen bloodworms as a treat for the rainbow. What other foods do you feed them? The rainbow fish I just got are from two sources: larger ones are 3.5" and smaller ones are 2". Each group has 6 to 10 fish.

@BentleyPascoe
@BentleyPascoe Жыл бұрын
You can certainly keep a mixed school of rainbow fish. You just have to keep in mind that you can't breed within a mixed school because they will crossbreed. So as long as it's purely for enjoyment or a display tank. Yeah, makes your rainbows as much as you want. But if you want to breed some of those rainbows, you'll want to move the breeding pair to a different tank to make sure that no cross breeding occurs.

Hi Bentley, I have a rainbow breeding question. I have some juvenile rainbows that are 2 months old. I thought they were turquoise rainbows but I recently saw red fins on some and came to realize that all 3 types of rainbows in the main tank were spawning in the mops I pulled! There are MacCullochi, Dwarf Neon Rainbows and Turquoise too. I believe I remember a video of you saying that rainbows will not cross breed if there are opposite sex of their kind in the tank. Is that true to your knowledge? The juveniles do not appear to be hybrids and there are both males and females of each kind in the parents' tank. I just wanted a pretty tank of rainbows. It was not my intention to breed them. I put mops in to hopefully breed the rummy nose tetras that are in with the rainbows. This was sort of an accident but it's been a really interesting adventure! Thanks :-)
@BentleyPascoe

Also it’s weird, you see photos of threadfins and look amazing, but when I see them the store they look blah. Do you think it’s bad stock or not grown enough, or not happy in their environment.

I have a 55-gallon that I had been using as a betta sorority with an additional dozen harlequin rasboras and yoyos and wanted more color variety, so I introduced 6 rainbow praecox, and they are gorgeous. I'd never had any rainbows, so I didn't know what to expect, but they are great community fish

After recently discovering your channel Bentley, its reinvigorated my passion for Rainbows. I just got back into fish keeping over the last year or so after a 8 year hiatus. Coming from Melbourne Australia, seeing your photos from Neil Armstrong reminded me of the ANGFA meetings I use to attend. Both Neil and Barry Crockford were great influences for me. The discussion and mentoring from these gentleman was truly amazing. For us aussies they are apart of rainbowfish history now. They are sadly miss! You guys in the States are so fortunate with the varieties you are able to obtain. Seems ironic that here in Australia we seem to be limited as to what can be obtained comercially. Keep up the gr8 content, much appreciated.!!👍🏼

GBRs typically do best in hotter temps (83F or more) than Rainbows like to sit at. Rainbows are usually best in the 74-78 range, which is more suited to something like Bolivian Rams.

Thanks for the tips! You aren’t kidding about jumping. I’m asking for a bigger fish tank for my birthday in a couple of weeks and it’s a good thing because it’s either my juvenile Boesemani or juvenile Turquoise rainbow fish jumping in my tank next to me with no lid…. Lol. “s**t.” It’s a 40 breeder. Not enough. It’s my community tank that only has 10 platies and 4 rainbow fish in it right now because I really want to convert that tank into my much bigger betta sorority bc betta fish. They are in a 20 tall. I think I’m gonna get a 75 gallon and I’m going to move my fish into that because there’s only two of each right now. I agree with the turquoise rainbow fish coloring remarks because my female turquoise rainbow is amazingly colorful right alongside her male counterpart.

Great video. Mix of information, entertainment and passion. Surprized Glossolepis dorityi didn't get a mention but totally agree on the wanamensis. Should be getting some M. australis in a couple of months. Just got to figure out where I'm going to put a 7ft tank without anyone noticing 😉
