    Gorgeous! I used to have 7 females and 3 males in my 55g. Such a great fish, but they don't handle stress well

    Moved to a hard water area and these fish love it! First fish stocked after 5 week tank cycle. I have slowly built up the group to 12 fish and I love em. Great video 👌

    So my personal experience with praecox: i used to underestimate them, i thought compared to most rainbows they’re just drab and boring. Until one day I had to catch one of mine, and when I looked at it under a gentle sunlight, BAM their body shines all sorts of color: most striking is the metallic green and blue.. then as it grew overtime the males fins got deep red and the females are yellow (at first i thought they were late bloomers!)
    Absolutely hardy and definitely getting them again in the future :)

    I picked up a group of 10 Macoulchi rainbow's. Im not sure how its spelled, but they have brownish scales and bright orange stripes. They stay small around 2 1/2 to 3 inches. When the lights first come on its AMAZING how colorful the males get! Might pick up some neons to go with them. Thanks for the vid!

    I have 5 in a 55 gal with 2 Dennison barbs, 2 Angels, 3 Yoyo & lots of Hillstream loaches plus 4 Rummy Nosed tetras. Love them. Never seen babies though. Lots of Hillstream babies and the Angels lay eggs then eat them.
