I have two black tetra and two bosemanis, they are super happy! When I bought the bosemanis the lady at the store had no idea what they were, and said some type of tetra, well I had no clue so bought two of them for like $2 each. I've just recently figured out what they are and I'm trying to get them taken care of properly!!
My favorite fish to put with Rainbow fish?......................................More Rainbow Fish, of course - All sizes: Threadfin for the tiniest, then Praecox for Mid-sized, finally some of the larger species. This combination takes care of top to mid water range - then throw in some cories and a pleco or two for good measure.💕👍
Awesome info.....we have planned a project to make a aquarium dedicated to all our favorite Aussie fish tubers and this will be very helpful information👍👍
Great video! I have 10 goyder rivers and 3 australian that i got from a fish club member. Do you keep australians and where can i get more. Thanks again
Swords/platies do well with Rainbows. 2 pipe dreams - Parkinsoni, yellow labs and Synodontis. Also Lake Aytingo boesmani and empire gudgeons Hypseleotris compressa. Rainbow guy does it again.
Hey man love your channel. You're a Rainbowfish guy and a Tanganyikan guy so I figured I'd throw this question to you. I'm setting up a 60 gallon breeder. It's basically a 75 footprint with the height of a 40 breeder. I want to do gold head comps and some julidochromis marlieri or transcriptus and some dwarf pectricola. Can I put dwarf praecox in as dithers? I originally wanted to do paracyprichromis nigripinnis but figured I needed more height.
Keeping weird mixes makes fish keeping a lot more enjoyable I've kept some very strange combinations and I currently keep peacock eel with a school of glass catfish
I have a Rainbowfish question: I have a 75g planted tank with 3 m/f pairs of different rainbow species (turquoise, millennium red, and parkinsoni). I would like to add more rainbows, my question is do I need to add more of the same species for the health and well being of the fish? Or would they all be happy even if I just had pairs of different Rainbow species? Cheers! And thanks for the great videos!
I used to have 2 fully grown angel fish, but 1 of them died. I went to the fish store to buy another angel fish, but he told me that my angel fish would attack the baby angel fish, so instead I bought 1 male Peacock rainbow fish and 2 Albino corydoras. Question. I have a 20-gallon planted tank with an overflow filter. How many rainbow fish and how many corydoras can I have in the 20 gallon tank with my fully grown angel fish? Also, can I add 1 female Kribensis on top of all that? ps. I also have 2 Dwarf Plecos that I never see. lol
How much is that in centimetres? I personally would give each pair 80cm. They can do less but they can be quite stroppy with each other and the most stressed will eventually die.
Hello Bob! Do you recommend keeping Apistos as a single pair or a 1M/2F trio?? Also, would they ever work as a colony of like 6-8? As always, thanks for everything you do! 💙🐟💦
@@SteenfottAquatics Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions! You're the best!! 🏆 P.s. would a 40GB be large enough or should it be bigger?

“I do resell them if you go to my website ...blah blah blah blah blah “. Best salesmen ever!!!
Thanks for this video! The Venezuelan Corydora are a #2 fav! I knew common plecos got large but not 18ft. Geez
Great list Bob!
What type or Cory cats are those at 0:38
Orange Venezuelans quite small. Have at least 8
Good info on tank mates, and populations!
I started getting plecos also. Fun to look at if you can get them out of their hiding spots
What was the green and orange cory? Venezuelan?
Yes, I also want to know ?
Me too
Orange =)
@@SteenfottAquatics wow the color on those little guys 🔥
Like that subtle flex of the equos corys
Apistogramma are my favorite fish
Very helpful, thank you.

What were those orange and green Corydoras? Also, do you think that you could keep half banded spiny eels with Corydoras and rainbowfish?
Awsome list !
Great video...love the camera work showcasing these super nice species! Thanks for sharing! 👍🐟🌿🌱
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice list Bob! Hope you’re doing well!
Thanks! You too!

At about 38 seconds in you show a couple corydoras that are kind of blueish green and orange. Do you know the name of these? Thanks
orange venezuela, or orange cory
@@ianhopkins7457 thanks
Figure 8 puffers are doing well with my turquoise rainbows .
Hello . Nice video as always. Would you recommend to keep them together with angelfish?
I keep one huge tiger sevrum with rainbow fish lol. Was told it wouldn't work but he likes the rainbows
Nice ideas for fish,

Jack and Dan are you going to add keeping fish simple

Those sound amazing
I love my mascara barbs with my Rainbowfish.
Can I put rainbow fish with dojo loaches? Will the rainbow fish be aggressive towards my dojo’s?
Can appistos live with kribs ( i have 1 krib in a 75 gallon with a few rainbows and an angelfish) and can they live with german blue rams
Where did you get that shirt !?
I like it !!!
Great vid!
I would also consider angelfish If you have a big enough tank
Can you keep guppies with rainbows bosemanians
What kind of apisto is that? He’s huge every apisto I’ve ever seen is a fraction of that

Its an odd one, but I have my rainbows with a pair of Julidochromis cichlids, the water parameters match and they ignore each other.

I’ve been wondering about this. Does julie work in a “normal” community tank? Do they dig?
@@hezeljudah9618 not much, they made a cave and have stopped digging. Once they have found a home you can start planting.
Can Apistogrammas, Rainbow Fish and one redtail shark go together in a 75 gallon tank?
The only problem you may have is they redtail shark, they can be a bit aggressive.
@Steenfott Aquatics What species of Tetra did you recommend? Thanks

Are those my 4 Venezuelan corys.. that you said you were going to ship me..
How about discus fish

Question.
I have a 20-gallon planted tank with an overflow filter. How many rainbow fish and how many corydoras can I have in the 20 gallon tank with my fully grown angel fish?
Also, can I add 1 female Kribensis on top of all that?
ps. I also have 2 Dwarf Plecos that I never see. lol
How many apistos would you put in a heavily planted 125 long
How much is that in centimetres? I personally would give each pair 80cm. They can do less but they can be quite stroppy with each other and the most stressed will eventually die.
UDABES
What is your store
What were those catfish?

With a big enough tank you can keep a colony no problem. Once you find mated pair and you specifically wanted to breed. I would keep them 1m/1f
@@SteenfottAquatics Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions! You're the best!! 🏆
P.s. would a 40GB be large enough or should it be bigger?
Aye I’m first 🤣, great vid I love rainbowfish
Hey
what up bob
Great info BoB💩
What are those blue ones called...coreys
you didn't mention any species that naturally occur alongside Rainbowfish in any of their localities...
Im sorry, is this video titled must have native tankmates for rainbowfish?
shalom shalom , from singapore you may export , bosemani rainbow fishes , hybrid plecos and bleeding heart tetras , to kolkatta ,india . there is lot of demand of these fishes ,in india ,also .
Why does he sound like Cory from aquarium co op
All my plecos died. I think I have toxic blue-green algae in my tank. I am afraid to get any algae eater.
👍💓👍
Word salad 🥗
A 18 inch Northern Pike is what I'd keep with these things. Seriously, rainbowfish are the least interesting fish in this hobby.
