  • Hi All,
    As a big rainbowfish fan I believe one of the most underrated rainbows out there is the Turquoise Rainbowfish.
    These fish show off some stunning blues, greens and cyan and are a super hardy species that needs some extra care to continue to exist.
    Hope this helps.

    I’ve got 3 in my 75 gallon rainbowfish tank. They are easily the stars of the tank. I’m a sucker for blue colored fish and they’ll flare against my kamaka and praecox rainbows to deliver this amazing light show

    Hello, thinking about starting my first planted 75g tank with rainbow fish i had ciclids for 2yrs..starting all over but thinking about using the eco complete planted substrate with the eco complete black sand for the cap. Will the PH be to high for those fish with the dirt and sand from eco complete?

    • @BlakesAquatics
      @BlakesAquatics  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      eco complete should lower the ph not raise it, I would give it a good time to stabilise before adding fish, after a few months then test the ph and youll be able to make a more informed decision.

    I have 6 of these and they hate me. I’m not sure why. They just stare at me and hover around the front of the tank all the time, facing outwards. 🤷🏽‍♀️

    hi blake what fish would you recommend for a australian monster fish biotope.

    • @BlakesAquatics
      @BlakesAquatics  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Good question. Snakehead gudgeons would be the first fish id put in. If they coexist id also put in a saratoga. Biotopes are one of those things I cant just name off the cuff because they are so intricate

    • @BlakesAquatics
      @BlakesAquatics  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They do require different water params to other rainbows. If you can source from a local breeder that helps

    This is an older video, but I have some teal blue rainbow fish. I have 2 males and 2 females. One of my males is getting skinny, like very skinny. I'm not sure if it's wasting away or swim bladder. How can or should I treat him?

    • @BlakesAquatics

      Id treat him with one or more dewormers (not at the same time) levamisole or praziquantel

      Usually 'sparring' with rainbows mainly results in swimming around in circles. Are there any other possibilities? If not id suggest a better male to female ratio 1m:2 or 2 f
