As
all know our general supplier for aquarium fish LiveAquaria.com and Drs.
Foster & Smith (same company) ended their online sales business, due to
state online sales tax issues. Thus links on fish for sale
no longer work as 02/22/10.
We are changing our tropical fish
suppliers now to "Aquarium-Club MEMBERS ONLY", so please stop back,
because we will have more tank raised fish shortly,
15 years of selling tropical fish online and
safely shipping fish and supplies to thousands of satisfied customers, without any
complaints!!!

Boesemani
Rainbow
Origin:
New Guinea and Irian Jaya.
Temperament: Peaceful, good community fish
Feeding:
Feed with flake
foods and brine shrimp. Extremely easy to
keep.
Sexing:
Males have a beautiful
bluish purple head that fades into a gorgeous orange and yellow posterior.
Though females are not as colorful, their brilliant silver coloration is equally
as stunning against any backdrop of plants or rockwork. Regardless of sex,
however, Melanotaenia boesemani boasts the same distinct
characteristics as other Rainbowfish, including large eyes, a deeply forked
mouth, and dual dorsal fins.
Comments:
The Boesemani Rainbow creates a
colorful centerpiece for any freshwater home aquarium. Like many members of the
Melanotaeniidae family, the Boesemani Rainbow also boasts the characteristic
blackish-silver band of scales running laterally from gill to tail.
This peaceful Rainbow is a
schooling fish that does best in a planted aquarium with plenty of room to swim.
If a dark gravel substrate is used, the gravel may aid in intensifying the
colors of the Boesemani Rainbow. When maintaining a school of Boesemani Rainbow,
an aquarium that is at least 4 feet in length should be used.
An egg layer, Melanotaenia
boesemani spawns on moss throughout the course of several days. The fry hatch
after six or seven days and require small pieces of live food. We offer
juveniles of this species, and they are too immature to differentiate between
the sexes.
Although Boesemani Rainbows
have large mouths, their throats tend to be narrow. Offer foods that are not too
large.
