 | Neon rainbows |
smantzer Big Fish Posts: 378 Kudos: 347 Votes: 10 Registered: 02-Nov-2004   | I have a planted 55g. Nothing in it right now besides two angels, 1 tiger peckolitia, 4 otos and 2 apistos (cacautoides and borelli). I'm thinking either neon rainbows (the blue ones!) or celebes rainbows. What do you think? Suggestions? I've never owned rainbows before. |

Also, just about any type of rainbows will do great in that tank as well. There is always a bigger fish... |

| smantzer Big Fish Posts: 378 Kudos: 347 Votes: 10 Registered: 02-Nov-2004 | Err, I just bought three... they...seem to be kind of aggressive, and fighting with each other... ... is this normal?  Maybe it'll stop when they get more used to their surroundings? |

| ACIDRAIN Moderator Posts: 3162 Kudos: 1381 Votes: 416 Registered: 14-Jan-2002 | 3 of which? They are just real active, and not knowing which you have, or the sex ratio, I would guess you have at least one male, and he is wanting to breed. Rainbows are always actively darting inbetween each other, and all over the tank. They never do any damage to each other though.

| smantzer Big Fish Posts: 378 Kudos: 347 Votes: 10 Registered: 02-Nov-2004 | Yeah, they're okay now.  Neon blue rainbows. But now they're not fighting. Though... one of them has yellow fins instead of red fins? Is this normal? |

| ACIDRAIN Moderator Posts: 3162 Kudos: 1381 Votes: 416 Registered: 14-Jan-2002 | It used to be thought that the yellow fins meant it was female, but they have determined that there are red finned females too. So, it is just that they can have either red or yellow fins. There is always a bigger fish... |
