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!!!

Madagascan Rainbow
Origin:
Madagascar.
Temperament: Peaceful, good community fish
Feeding:
Feed with flake
foods and brine shrimp. Extremely easy to
keep.
Sexing:
The male Madagascans are
brightly colored with their first dorsal fin coming to a point while the females
are more yellow in color and have a deeper body.
Comments:
The Madagascan Rainbow was
identified in 1907 and is a member of the Silverside group. Rainbowfish are
known for their characteristic large eyes, black or silver band that runs
through the middle scale rows, deeply forked mouth, and two dorsal fins.
This peaceful fish is a
schooling fish that should be housed in a planted aquarium with plenty of room
to swim as they are very active. Madagascan Rainbows do best with a gravel
substrate and its colors may intensify with a dark colored gravel. When
maintaining a school of these fish, an aquarium that is at least 4ft in length
should be used.
An egg layer, Bedotia gaeyi
spawn over fine-leaved plants. During courtship, the male will show his
brightest colors. At a temperature of 75°F, the fry will hatch after six or
seven days.
Although Madagascan Rainbows
have large mouths, their throats tend to be narrow. With this in mind, foods
should not be too large.
