    One of the most beautiful fish I've ever seen! And the colouring of the ones you've got is particularly nice - I've seen some other videos where they look quite subdued. I have a coldwater tank, but if I ever switch to tropical, these are my #1 to try, they're just mesmerizing.

    For me they were pretty hardy. I bought them knowing nothing, put them into a new tank. None died, lived quite happily even when I was pregnant and could not take care of my tank so well as before.

    Love mine. I have 8 males in a heavily planted 10G. They are always sparring and dancing. I love the way they rapidly flip their first dorsal fin (sail) up and down when doing the dominance thing. Believe it or not, they only get baby brine and Sera Micron.

LOL But joke aside it's hard to talk to the camera cause we talk to one and other face to face seeing the face the eyes and the body language and to talk to a lifeless camera is hard cause you don't see us and our face and reaction ! Also it is a very nice fish and I never seen this nice and colourful ! I seen this may be 2 times in my life and much drab colour then this guys were ! It really is a nice addition to an established tank and one day I will try too ! Thanks Sean keep on keeping on ! lol

    I had to quit the hobby recently for a few different reasons, but my next tank, when I'm able, will most likely be full of these. I'd let the tank mature with corys and honey guaramis for at least 6 months and let the plants have an opportunity to fill out. I prefer frogbit over duckweed though for floaters

    They are a really attractive fish.
    Do you have any advice on Dropsy in Guppies? I've lost two to it already, another is badly infected (pine coning but oddly seeming to recover - i didn't think they could!) and another is showing early signs of it. I bought them all together, they're all the same 'breed'/colour and i've seen them trying to nip at each other's gill. They, and recently my Zebra Danios, do begin flashing from time to time, sometimes frantically. Could that be a sign of parasites?
    They're fed flakes, algae wafers - they were supposed to be for my Otto's but everything in the tank go nuts for them! I stopped giving them frozen foods completely as dropsy would almost certainly appear every time i gave them frozen. From time to time i give them a cooked, pealed pea. The Guppies go nuts for those too.

    @charlesmorris6476 4 роки тому

    Who did you get your Threadfin rainbow fish from the coloration is great, also what locality did they come from. The reason I ask is many of the local threadfins that are available are not colorful at all, and I am not interested in those, but yours have beautiful velvety black and red orange coloration. Are they online where you got your fish? Please, I must know because I would not be happy with any others but the coloration and type you got.

      I’m not positive but if I recall two females to one male is the better option. If you have it. There are normally so few when I see them or they are really expansive and you can only get a few. So for me it’s normally down to what’s there. You can mail order of course with better options.

Their tank mates are Dwarf Neon Rainbow (Melanotaenia Praecox), and mix very well despite the size difference.
