Are Rainbow Shiners a shoaling fish?
Rainbow Shiners are shoaling fish, when kept in a school of 6 to 8, but will do much better in groups larger than 10. It is good to keep a mixture of males and females together, as the males will display to potential mates and show off their colours.
Can Rainbow Shiners be kept in a coldwater aquarium?
Rainbow shiners only grow to around 3 inches maximum, so they can be kept in an indoor coldwater aquarium, or an outdoor pond. Rainbow shiners can tolerate a range of temperatures, and are mid to upper level swimmers in an aquarium.
What kind of fish is a Neon Rainbowfish?
The Neon Dwarf Rainbow Fish is a lively species that like to shoal in groups towards the middle and top of the aquarium. Their colouration is quite unique as they shimmer when swimming.
Do Neon Dwarf Rainbowfish need lots of plants?
Though not essential, neon dwarf rainbowfish will thrive in planted aquaria with wide swimming spaces, and prefer dimly lit conditions. Floating or surface plants would be ideal to help diffuse the light.
