Rainbow Cichlid | Complete Care & Breeding Guide
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 чер 2024
- Today's video is a care and breeding guide on the Rainbow cichlid (Herotilapia multispinosa). Rainbow cichlids are incredible Central American cichlids, with great color and behavior. Rainbow cichlids are relatively peaceful for a cichlid, and they don't grow too large, so they don't require a huge tank.
Rainbow cichlids are great community fish, whether thats with larger tetras, barbs, and bottom feeders, or with a community cichlid tank. They have a ton of tank mate options, making them an awesome choice for most setups.

They really have a beautiful colour. All of the looks of a big Central American without all of the aggression.
Agreed!
The Rainbow Cichlid is on my wishlist! They are a little bit harder to find though.
Hi Troy I totally agree with you they are very underrated. Have one about three years now and he is in with some bigger fish like Firemouths and red shouldered and gold severums , blue acara. Boy he is a feisty guy he colors up bright yellow with black down the middle of body and he doesn’t let anyone push him around. Got a lot more out of him than I thought when I got him. Great little fish!!
Love these breeding and care guides, please keep them coming
Multispinosa are great! I used to breed these guys
I breed rainbow cichlids and they are a very cool fish!
I have 2 for a year now in my 55 gallon with some other tank mates, they are awesome, they really stand alone as having there own personality, they definitely look at you and recognize you, they are definitely great because it’s like having a big fish personality in a smaller fish, there bulky and nicely shaped, great for people who don’t have room for bigger fish
Thank you for this video! I just purchased one on Father’s Day!
Love to hear it!
Awesome fish. Especially when they bright yellow with black. I did have one male that was a bit feisty to my Nicaraguan Cichlid and firemouth.
Beautiful fish but really hard to find in my area. Thanks for sharing
I should consider purchasing these guys once after I get rid of some of my juvi blue zebras
Look great in the tank
Very beautiful cichlid ❤
I really enjoy this series of fish care and breeding. For my it brings to life the fish itself, maybe one I never noticed before. Like this fellow, their beautiful and seem like they would be a great starter cichlid with their temperment(?) Excellent video Troy. Peace.
Definitely a good beginner cichlid choice! Thanks!
very beautiful cichlids i would love to keep some thnxs for sharing
Thanks for watching!
@@CichlidBros your welcome anytime
I bought mine last month he is peacful and funny looking 😅 i luv him
Awesome
Thank you for the info
Any time!
Interesting species
You guys should do a care guide on the blood parrot Cichlid or the zebra acara or maybe both?👀
Waiting for giveaway results.🤞
Rainbow and nicaragua are some gentle beauties in south americans.#followthewhale
Beautiful yes. But mine are A-Holes. I guess I just got unlucky. They are always fighting with each other and my Firemouths. They also destroyed my crypts.
I’ve heard hey are complete terrors when breeding. Can you please do a Tbar cichlid video for your next one? Thank you!
That’s almost all cichlids though. Tbar eventually!
One of my rainbow cichlids it’s pretty much all really dark black/blue is that normalv
Pretty unusual unless they’re breeding or constantly fighting
Looking for suggestions for a 75gal with Electric Blue Acara, and 1 severum around 3" and 2 golden severum at about 1.5"
Kinda full once adults, but could maybe squeeze a rainbow, festivum, keyhole or something similar
Hey im just getting into cichlids. I have a 29 gallon tank and im looking to stock it with african ciclids. I have an electric yellow two blue striped one (petsmart just labeled it under assorted african) an albino peacock and what looks like a type of peacock with a grey/blue body and yellow fins. I want to overstock the tank for less aggression and i want to go with some species that will cohabitate well and not get too big. How many more should i get and what species? I will be buying online as i dont have a local fish store in my area
How would one get along with an Electric Blue Acara in a 55g?
Would likely work well
Hard to find
True. Online is a good option. Imperial tropicals usually has them
What's going on with the 480??
Update coming very soon!
