If you watch a healthy and adult rainbow fish you can easily guess why they
are called so.They are generally small and highly coloured fishes.
Some species may limit their size upto 5 cm while some may grew upto 20
cm you can ask aquarium dealer about this.Rainbow fishe's magnificent color
may rival may marine fishes.When they are present in the aquarium shop they may not attaract buyer because they may lack color aur may seem dull. But this is due the reason that
they are overcrowded and fairly small.They can't develop colours if they are present in
crowded aquarium.They are quite shy fishes and love to hide.If not provided hiding spots
they may get stress.Stress is one of the reason for their dull color.These are schooling fishes
and must be present in group of 6 or more.To attaract female rainbow fish they develop colors so when they
are present in group they have to compete for female by developing magnificent colors.
These are peaceful species and should be kept with other peaceful species of same size.
put live and fake plants in aquarium they will love it because their natural habitat is also
plantet.
