Rainbow Fish

Just thought id share my collection of rainbows that i currently have in my 125 gallon tank. I think a lot of people are scared off by the fact that they are so expensive but if you can get past that they are my favorite fish!


The ruler of the tank is my Bosemani Rainbow. 1 Male 1 Female

This is my favorite fish by far. The Parkonsoni Rainbow. Once they get older All their back fins turn bright orange and most the tail turns orange also. Took me a while to find them but well worth the wait. 2 Males 1 Female

I have 2 of these guys but they are still young so there is no coloring on them yet. This is what im hoping they will end up looking like. These are the Chilatherina Bleheri Rainbow. 2 unsexed

Not the best pictures in the world but these guys dont sit still.

Beautiful rainbows!

I really like the rainbows as well. I put two bosemani , one Australian rainbow, and one parkonsoni rain ow( he's the reason my son and I decided on rainbows ) all of his are 3". I really like the blue one you have! That would be a nice color in his school

For a time I was into rainbows and had a community of them with Denison barbs. My favorite is the Madigascar Rainbow. Your Parkonsoni Rainbow and the Madigascar have simular body shape.

Love your collection!
