Just a couple harmless curiosities! These are just coming from my wondering things based on questions people ask me at work. (I work at a chain pet store) I have little to no experience with rainbows, but they really are gorgeous fish. : )
Question one: I know rainbowfish are schooling, and best kept in groups with more females than males. If you were to keep a group of, say, three male Bosemani rainbows, would one pick on the others/become dominant? Like, would the head honcho be colorful while the other two dim down, or would they all make peace and be a big happy rainbow-colored family?
Question two: Same thing, but between species. If you had a male Bosemani and decided to add a male Turquoise, would they scrap/dim down/anything?
And... I think I had one more, but that's all I can remember for now. Any answers would be greatly appreciated!
