Sparring rainbowfish

[CaptainBarnicles]

Here you go, my rubbish attempt at a video! I don't know how these pros do it, I just don't have the patience and ability to faff for days on end with editing etc enjoy!

Nice rainbows! I don't know that would be considered as sparring, I had rainbows a while back and occasionally they would do that, could it be mating? Or two males just flexing their muscles?

Those are young'uns. Even adult M. boesemani do that. Especially in the morning and then the evening again. No harm. What I learned is they look and do best with their own kind. You dont want to mix them with all kinds of Rainbows like I had done for my introduction into keeping them. You only have dwarf Rainbows with them and that's ok. But I would tell people the classic Bozy aquarium is them,Clown Loaches,Roseline barbs. Any aquarium with just those three species is all the color and hardiness- and peace!- you could ever ask for.
