You can stock more than 8 rainbow fish but my advice is to start with a lot of plants and deep substrate , i had over 60 rainbow fish in my 75 gallon for about 4 years without a problem, because it was fully planted.

No this was a couple of years ago and now they in a much much bigger tank if you watch my recent videos and mind you,most of these fish were breed by me and they grew up in that same tank 2 years ago and now i actually have 8 fish tanks in my house

Yes you will need about 75 to 150 US gallons to keep them when they get to 5 inches

Me i do have 125 gallon for them

@@GeorgeAAquatics Thank you I appreciate it. Really lovely fish and tank.

Yeah they are, but eventually i will move them to my 125 gallon

Thanks for sharing

Thanks so much for your comment and have a very good evening

Thanks so much

This 125 gallon with 5 inches of substrate

I know right. Before the spring showers begin at least

It was about 45 but now they are in my 125 gallon tank now

@@GeorgeAAquatics awesome thanks for the info I love the look of “overstalked” tanks I have 30 in my heavily planted 55 and people allways say it’s overstalked but I feel like it perfectly stalked the way it is I do water changes maybe twice a month haven’t lost a fish in 6 months . Beutifull tank with many rare rainbow fish it’s like a slice of heaven in your home truly beautiful

@blundeysnipe7625 Overstocking is not bad at all if you know what you are doing in my opinions , especially in planted tanks and rainbow fish always learn to live with each other in environment like that. I had over 100 of them in my 75 gallon before i bought my 125 gallon, i am going breed more

Wow that’s good because mine ends up dead

@@GeorgeAAquatics yea too me I thought it was a heater burn or a very bad scrape but idk I did does my tank with anti bacterial and fungal remedy wich might’ve done the trick

Ooo wow maybe it’s time to put it in a different tank or rehome it

@@GeorgeAAquatics most likely I’ve had it since it was the size of a quarter though it’s sad

Yep that is understandable but the reality is its gonna get to the point where the rainbow fish going to be stress and start dying

@@GeorgeAAquatics yea gotta do what’s right for the fish 🤧🤝

I stock males and females together because that is how you get the males colors out more

@@GeorgeAAquatics okay thanks for the reply

Yes i have been looosing couple so i am working on it at the moment and that is sad part of it

@@GeorgeAAquatics don’t be too hard on yourself, not all of them are supposed to make it :) Also there is always another chance another batch, another pair. You’ve made it farther than I have with rainbow fry

Yeah i have always been breeding these fish,if almost half of the fish in my main tank i bred them about three years ago so i am use to loosing them but thanks for your encouragement I really appreciate it

@@GeorgeAAquatics I didn’t know that little fact! Super cool and makes me appreciate your fish and content even more, nice job dude. Also if you want more views use the “it’s a beautiful day” sound

Ok thanks so much

Yes but not all the time for example I haven’t turned it on for about a month now, the plants need just a little bit of it in my opinion

Thanks for your comment… and Alleni wapoga starts breeding when they get to about 1.5 to 2 inches. What size are yours

Okay and Mine are about 1.5 inches you can see the males just starting to color up

I think they should start breeding at this moment, what is your water temperature now

@@GeorgeAAquatics 78 f

I never bred hybrid fish before, i have different types of Rainbowfish both males and females and I always breed same pair in a separate tank…. Please Watch my videos and see for yourself thanks

Yeah and will actually be a new tank that I will buy which 125 gallon or 150 but for mean time I will use it on my 75

@@GeorgeAAquatics will you be getting a bigger place to house all your tanks? 120gallon is pretty big

Yes i will lol

Actually i use to have Fx5 on on it but i am using 2 Aquaclear 110 and it is working perfectly. I will recommend Fx6 which i am about to buy one very soon and Fx4 is also good for 75 gallon

Thanks for your comment

No i did not figure out and unfortunately it died two weeks later
