Mostanks, i lost one of mine about a year ago, and had just a single for about two months. He just seemed to become more dosile. I really didn't see any aggression. When i got him a partner, he livened back up, and went back to the hyper rainbow i knew, and loved. My lfs told me that they can be territorial if they aren't in at least a pair though...that's the main reason i got him another buddy.

I believe they should be kept in groups,

I have 4 and they love to school B)

wetwetwet is right. Rainbows are a schooling fish and should be kept in groups. I have 4 dwarf neon rainbows and they are constantly chasing each other and having fun together.
