Haha, sweet. I'm considering Boesemani rainbows for my 125; they're pretty awesome fish.

How big are they? I currently have 5 and two are adults. Once they get to be adults they actually change their colors based on thier moods. From extremely light almost washed out. to it looks like they put on a lot of makeup. It also is dependent on the time of day to. Good look and let us know how they go. I for one want to see pics if you got em

Well, the current Rainbow population is:
1) Adult male
6) Juveniles (4 months?) I think 3 female 3 male.
1) Adult female in the hospital tank (Looking good though)

On order from Big Als... Red Rainbows!
And that will round out our Rainbow collection until fate or good luck delivers a 125G to us!!!!!

I'll see about some pics tonight. They are all looking quite washed out right now though.

Also, the big male that was already in the tank seems to be going after the new arrivals. You'd think he would be happy with some company

Congratulations on the rainbowfish, they're some of my favorites! I have boesemanis, iranian reds, axel rods, and a few eastern-type rainbows, but they're a bit more red.

I've had several different species over the years, and plan on setting up a 40B with nothing but blue eyes (my 10 didn't work out so well).

Great to know another rainbowfan is in the house!
