Lone Boesmani Rainbowfish

[squirrelrabbits]

Has anyone kept a lone Boesmani Rainbowfish? I purchased one recently at the LFS, where he was alone with no mates, but now I am wondering if I shouldn't search for some company for him. Any info would be appreciated.

Bosemani's are a naturally gregarious and will do better with the company of their own species. You will probably not see their full colours until you add some more, and they really are very colourful!
I have mixed 3 bosemani's with 3 jewel rainbows and they shoal together quite happily.

In your sig it says otherwise......
