Steenfott Aquatics very cool video :)
Thank you Mark =)
steenfott u have helped me so much with everything thank u so much
I always see and hear you geeking out about rainbows, so glad you finally made a dedicated video for it
Steenfott Aquatics hey I want a community 100 gallon I want some small puffers Wht all can i put with them??
Rainbows are the most under rated fish. Easy to keep and awesome colours! Keep up the rainbow content!
Definitely under rated =)
I totally agree with you. I love them, their beauty, their energy, just about everything about them. Keep your water fresh and moving and they will reward you.
Love the rainbow fish content! I'd especially enjoy hearing more about some of the rarer rainbows you've got!
thank you for sharing this, I feel there isnt enough rainbow fish content on youtube, so glad to see you posted some quality information!
Very beautiful rainbow fish! Agreed that they love plants :) I used to keep Boesemanis.
Awesome list, your rainbows look amazing
Love the rainbows. Definitely want some!!
Do it Keng =)
sweet fish and i have had a lot of fun getting to know this species, sorta cichlid like in their behaviors!
Just got into Rainbows…literally just looked up this video to re-watch! Cheers from PR Steen!
Amazing video, I started with 3 Australian Rainbowfish back in January they grew nicely, I definitely have a dominant male that has nice fins with the yellow similar to yours, recently I bought 3 Boesemani and 2 Turquoise to add to the school and I love all of them cant wait until they grow up and get more color, they are all kept in a 55 with Platys, Guppies and 1 Betta
Nice list of unique species. Beautiful additions to any tank or as single species tank. Wow, they are active & big fish.
Simply stunning collection Bro!
Great info Bob, thanks!
Thank JD =)
I found this video again five years later. Still a good watch. Cheers
Great video man.
Great video Bob.
First time to your channel love the video. Subscribed and looking at more of your videos. Keep it up. I like how you printed out the names so we can look them up.
I had never kept Rainbowfish before, but thanks to some of your awesome tanks I now have Turturquoise, Boesemani, Red Irian, Threadfin, Parkinsoni and ForkTailed RainbowFish. Great video Bob.
Great video Bob. I have not keep rainbows before so this video helps with what to start with. My bucket list is getting bigger with your rainbow videos. lol.
+Big Tony's Fish Room glad I could spread the rainbow bug:)
Thanks Bob. So glad you got me hooked on Rainbows. :)
Glad i got someone hooked =)
Looking great bob!
Thanks buddy =)
Ive owed aussie rainbows in the past. Love em!
Great video! I have 8 praecox dwarf rainbows, only two females. I observe, and my females seem to be in charge of things. The males don't seem to bug them that much and the females seem to be in charge of the spawning behavior. I love these fish... i'd love to have 100.
Thank you for the amazing video, I found this video while i am planning how I'll stock my 55 gallon community tank
Wow. Beautiful
Good topic Bob
That turquoise rainbow tho
I lkke the red one with siler pearls reminds me of Christmas time
I love your intro's ... Breaking Bad, Back to the Future (very creative)... And your fish ofcourse :)
Love your tanks man. Keep up the good work have you a sub
The first time I watched one of your videos... I didn't like you. But here I am today wishing I knew you in person. XD Thanks for sharing the info on the rainbowfish; you've officially got my attention. Now if only I had a bigger tank... Some day. :-P
Bob maybe you have had some pseudomugil-furcatus? Hands down those are my favorite. They are tiny, yes... but so much personality and those fins and blue eyes. Awesome! Scrap plans for that saltwater and do a nano tank of those.
Beautiful fish! Getting back into a planted tank and going to keep rainbowfish again.
Awesome!!!
Rainbow paradise! :)
Nice job on the video, something I should have done years ago, if I had I don't think it would be as good ! At one time I use to keep and breed 40 + different species of Rainbows ....now retired from breeding bows I keep a small group of the bosesmani (Lake Aytinjo), lacustris, and herbertaxlrodi from the Melanotania Genus plus the bleheri from the Chilatherina Genus and a multisquamata from the Glossolepis Genus. The later two not quite beginner bows.
I was just wondering when can you expect rainbowfish to start widening out? I've had my 6 irian reds for about a half year and while theyve grown I haven't seen them widen. they're in a 75 gal with a Flag chiclid and a pair of Edged Knife livebearers
I just picked up some kamaka today at my lFS Only 2 because they were 25 bucks a piece but I’m super stoked about them they are the first rainbows I’ve ever kept and they look great with my school or neon rosy barbs. Great video 👍
Thanks, Kamakas are great
What kind of rainbow is under the turquoise at 7:25 with blue then the black line and a white belly
When u move onto the second tank I see a beautiful little fish in amongst the grass. Could you tell me what that is please.
awsome vid!
These are my favorite kind of videos: educational and helpful to other hobbyists. I notice you didn't mention threadfin or celebes rainbows. You don't recommend them for beginners?
Very vibrant colorful rainbow fishes you have, very envy.
Mine are not so colorful, probably the weather here doesn't bring our their color potential.
Still your logo is still catching my attention instead. Hahaha!
hey steen do you think that boesemani and turquoise rainbow fish would be okay and not eaten by an black ghost knife fish in an 150 gallon planted tank. The BGK if i can find an hi fin one will be an juvenile when I introduce him to the tank.
I got into the hobby just over a year ago and have really tried to educate myself and I've become pretty successful with my 55 gallon tank. I have live plants but i got a little excited and bought a bunch of bleeding heart and rainbow tetras and i have two boesemani rainbow and now that i've had a chance to learn and grow my fish out for a year or so im looking at selling off my tetras and getting more rainbows. My question is how many rainbows do you think i can get for my 55 gallon? I have a 306 fluval canister filter and im going to eventually upgrade to a 75 gallon as im falling in love with the hobby. Thanks!
Found this video while doing some research. Building out a 55 gallon aquarium and plan to make rainbows the focal point. Should rainbows from the big box stores color up like those in your main tank as they grow? And how does one go about getting something like your more colorful bosemani in the other tank?
Great video! Maybe I missed it but what size tank would you recommend for the Praecox? I know you said 4ft for the others but didn't catch this one.
thanks for finally mentioning the Madagascar rainbows no ever does they are the rainbows that i keep although I have bedotia madagascarensis which stay a bit smaller than maybe 4 to 4 1/2 inches and don't have a spot under their chin like geayi very similar species though get mixed up a lot in the hobby
wow nice, i dont think i have ever seen those in person.
Hello. What Rainbowfish variety can live in cooler water like ongoing 65-75 degrees?
Hi. Does anyone know which species the small red fish are in the main tank? and which species are the larger fish?
Stunning rainbows!
Thanx! Your tanks are beautiful, by the way. What do you feed him, how big will he get and will he go after small fish, like tetras?
hey steenfott I have a few questions would it be possible to keep the dwarf neon rainbow fish in a 75 gallon tank with a few goldfish if so is it common to find them at a good quality in a LFS or something like pet land also I keep my tank at around 72-76 ℉
Ty
How big to Irian Reds have to be to show their color? My LFS store has some about 3" for a good price but not much color, I'm wondering if they haven't colored up yet or if they just aren't colorful.
I have had the Australian, Boesemani, Praecox, and Madagascar when I had a big house and a 125 gallon tank. I live in a little house now and my biggest tank is 75 gallons, I currently have 8 Goyder River Rainbows but I desperately want some Boesemani again.
This is great because I am moving my guppies and endlers out and more rainbows into my community planted tank I currently have neons and bosemani
Awesome =)
Are those redbelly dace in with the rainbowfish around the 4:30 mark? The small red schooling fish.
Hi, beginner here, looking for stocking my 39g. You have a great collection. Thanks for all the information. At 7:22 there's a purple/pink/white rainbow fish. Which one's that please?
HI. You cited a fish that had a wound. My older rainbows develop things like that occasionally. What is that and what can be done?
Hi, I have 6 Rainbows 4 Blue and 2 Bosemani. l at what age can they breed? I know it all depends on a lot of factors.
Thank you.
John
A video I missed. Thumbs up.
Thank you =)
You're making me love rainbow fish! How far down the list are the lovely Pseudomugil gertrudae?
Great rainbow video
+Triple 10 Tanks thanks triple ten
great video
Wow they are soo beautiful
Are they compatible as community fish with koi in a large aquarium while the koi grow out? 150 gal.
@Steenfott Aquatics Can i ask what are the other fish mates do you have in with your Rainbows @4.10 as i want to try and replicate this tank here in the UK :D ty for the upload
Hi what are those really red smaller fish?, how many fish do you have in that tank?
How big will they grow, I only own a 29 gallon tank since like too small for them
Cool stuff. So what are the smaller thin red fish around the 7 minute mark? Are they rainbow shiners I cant tell but their awesome. Thanks
Beautiful fish and informative vid. Which rainbow is bigger, the boesmani or the Turqoise rainbowfish? Thanks
Can you do a top 5 for harder to keep rainbow fish? Also, there are so many different rainbows out there. Could you do a video quickly comparing them? And a vid showing there juvenile vs adult look would be awesome. Thanks.
That would be an awesome video, but really hard to make without owning them myself =(
Very nice
Could I keep 6 dwarf neon rainbows and 6 forktail rainbows in a 47.5 gallon tank doing 35% weekly water changes
Are those red shiners in the 125? I’m looking to get some and I’ve read they can only go about 12-22 degree C and was wondering what you, if they are red shiners, kept them at?
Hello, would these live happily with koi in a 150 gal tank?
Hi Steenfott nice video. Can i have the neon rainbowfish with a male betta in a 53 gallon tank? Are they known to be fin nippers? Thanks
Nice video and great looking fish Bob. You are the reason I have rainbow fish in my 75 gallon. (true story) I'm just curious about the below 80 deg water temperature you mentioned a few times in this video. I currently have my rainbows at 82.5 - 83.0 deg F. When I got them I searched the internet and found the majority of rainbow care sites had 82 deg. listed as optimum. This is purely a question and not a critique. Keep publishing the great videos.
I have bought a baby ( only some cm ) dwarf rainbow fish , do you think if he or she will live on its own would suffer ? Also it’s pretty colorless , what age will it get some color ? It lives with 2 platys and some espei rasboras
how would you fix that sore, on the rainbow you spoke of in this video?
Is there any species of rainbows I can add to a ten gallon? Or is a 20 long or 29 gallon necessary
I have a 20 long in storage. Will that be adequate for the Praecox?
Hi dude, at 4:18, what is the cause of that sore? Is that from a fight or from fish tbc? My boes had that in the past but Im not 100% sure what killed them
Thank you for this wonderful video🤗 I am currently doing research on the rainbows I have and you verified that I have a Lake Kamaka rainbow! I do have a variety of rainbows 🌈 and I love them all! I just got the book Rainbowfishes by Gerald R. Allen. So far it has helped me identify some of my rainbows. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos😄
+Aquaticfish7 Awesome, love the kamaka rainbows. Great book too
@@SteenfottAquatics
At 6:30 are those rainbow shiners?
Good vid I’m thinking of getting some rainbows
Nice!
Catching up on some of your older videos. Any reason is a good reason to look at some rainbows.
What type of puffer can you keep with rainbow fish, like the one in your video?
What rainbowfish would you recommend for a 40 gallon breeder with guppies and Cory catfish????
My rainbow fish is awesome …very aggressive! And I ❤️ It! 😁
I would like to set up a 4-foot 60 gallon aquarium for rainbow fish. I have the aquarium, can you please tell me what I would need to get it started for my rainbows that I will be ordering also can you tell me where I could get some assortment of rainbow fish through the mail when the tank is ready. thank you love the videos
What was the deep red rainbow with the yellow on the top of the nose ?
Most the rainbow fish you see in the fish store have very little color because of age, about what age do they start showing their best color?
any idea if the boesemani gary lange is available in germany?
Any tips on getting rainbow fry to eat? I'm using instant baby brine shrimp and hikari first bites. They are about 7-10 days old and I can never see them eat when I watch. They are pretty tiny and hard to see though 😂Love the rainbows also, I have herbertaxelrodis, boesemanis and wapoga
I have got a 70 US gallon tank . If I keep 20 rainbows , 6 Roseline shark and 10 of tetras , will there be crowding ?
Very nice list, but I do have to wonder, what about dwarf rainbow fish like celebes or threadfins? Would they be considered beginner friendly, or are they more challenging than the ones listed here?
I love rainbow fish.
Hey Bob...love the videos. Have 3 pea puffers I was feeding and thought of Little Steen. I put a zuccunni* on a plastic covered metal cloths pin and drop into snail tank .. few hours later just pick up and shake into your hand and re-drop. lol Little Steen Happy.. lol Have a great day
+Sherry Swinney thank you Sherry :)
You inspired me to start a rainbow tank, I have 2 species so far the Melanotaenia splendida and Melanotaenia Preacox :) I'm looking into the Kamaka since they are stunning as well! Have a good one
What are the small red fish around 6 55? Rainbow shiner?
