Boesemani Rainbowfish ( Melanotaenia boesemani )
Grows to 4"
A very colorful rainbowfish. Like all rainbowfish they make a beautiful display when kept in schools of at least six in planted tanks.
Housing: Provide bushy plants in the back and plenty of swimming room in the front. They are best in larger tanks. A 55 gallon or more is recommended. They are tolerant of a wide range of water conditions. The hard alkaline water of Western Pa. is very good for them. (Temperture 70-80.) (pH 7.0-7.6) If some morning sun hits the tank you can witness their beautiful morning displays.
Tank Mates: They are large fish, but peaceful toward most others. Keep them with other active fish of similar size. They have small mouths, and will not attack other fish.
How Many?- Like most rainbowfish they will thrive school in groups. We recommend six or more.
Feeding- Omnivovorous. They accept a variety of foods. Feed flakes, small pellets, frozen and freeze-dried foods.
Other names: Bicolor rainbowfish.
