I think my fish had babies. There are little tiny fish swimming around my tank but I'm scared my betta or pea puffer will eat them but if I put the babies in a different container I'm scared the will die...any tips would help!

you can get a breeding container that goes in the actual tank. They normally hang off of the tank into the water. These makes it so you aren't shocking the fry with water condition changes.

It's me again. Would love to know what tips anyone would have to entice these two to spawn, the male is certainly eager to :)

Found this quote on another website. "An egg layer, Glossolepis incisus spawns throughout a number of days over moss. The adults should be removed after spawning and the eggs should be raised and hatched separately. The fry should be fed very small live foods."

You need to sort of replicate the flood season. Try adding some cooler water. Lots of plants and heavy nutrient rich feedings.

They are beautiful active fish with a great blue color. My pH is 7.2 and the temp is 80. They also get along with other community fish great!

Please tell me what the fish behind the main fish is.....is it the female Jewel Rainbowfish? I have been looking on and of for 10 years for that fish! I love the sleek body and the great colored fins and tail.

I'd say you are correct!

I have 1 male and 2 female dwarf neons. I also have a beta that is a male. The beta enjoys chasing the dwarves only when the light is turned on. Should I be worried? Why is he doing this? Please answer

If it isn't getting violent I wouldn't worry. Look for signs of stress. Sometimes moving the tanks decor may stop the betta from doing this as it will need to reestablish territory..

Yeah, the problem with Betta fish is they are easily confused. They don't know their own kind as much as they know another fancy looking fish. They will often chase another fish just because its colorful.

These fish are great! My local fish store had one lonesome Madagascar Rainbow, so I bought him and he is a delight. Begs at the front of the tank, very active, very agile almost acrobatic..and most of all, very peaceful. He lives in a 95 gal with 7 Boesmani Rainbows, tetras, gouramis, loaches etc. I have been looking for more, but with no luck, They seem to be pretty rare.

I have a tank of 30 inch planted which houses 16 bosemans rainbow, it's a delight to watch them, especially when they change colors from noon time.
Happy fish keeping.

that is wayyy too small consider upgrading
Jeremy Roche - 2012-04-17
For 16 full grown you need a much bigger tank. 75 gallon tank would work well.

I have had my Madagascan Rainbowfish for a while now and although they are pretty rare, are very good for a beginner with a tank of 30 gallons.

As long as you keep pristine water they are very easy. They aare however very sensitive to change.

Hi!
When I first got my dwarf rainbowfish, I asked for 2 females and 1 male. But when I got home I found out I had 2 males and 1 female. They all looked healthy and were feeding well. A week later I found one dead. I could not work out what was wrong so I watched the tank carefully. A week later I found another one dead. I was only left with a female. I was sad because they are amazing fish and I was now worried about my female. Now- 3 months later she is still around and doing great. After the last one died I added bacteria medicine. This worked and I saw a great advance in the females behaviour. She is shoaling with my other fish- but I feel it is unfair to leave her by herself. and wonder if I should I get more dwarf rainbowfish. I recommend these fish- they are great to watch. Just make sure they are healthy when you get them.
Thanks!
