Boesmani Rainbow Pics

Just playing around with the camera trying to figure out the different settings. The pictures look a little fuzzy because the water is cloudy. Still trying to get the fertilizers and CO2 right...The rainbows seem to like the planted tank much better. Every week when I change the water, they pair off and do their little dance -- they swim "cheek to cheek" and shiver against each other.

Very nice! I have one myself, i just wish i had a larger tank to house a school of them. What are the specs of the tank that you have them in?

They are fabulous fish Nice group shot. Just wait till they really mature

Must say, I've often wondered about this very affectionate male-to-male behaviour

do you know how to sex them? I only have one so im unable to compare it with others to see whether i have a male or female.

The males are a lot more colourful and vibrant - also much deeper "chests".
