If You're Going to Own a Rainbow Tropical Fish, Read This!

"If You're Going to Own a Rainbow Tropical Fish, Read This!"," This sadly overlooked species is a mellow little animal that is ideal for beginner and veteran aquarium keepers alike.
 Rainbow tropical fish don't tend to get their vibrant colors until they're much older-as young fish they tend to be brownish green.
 Unlike many tropical fish, they show no signs of aggression when other males are in the tank.


However, when choosing fish for your tank, be sure not to overcrowd them.
 If you are unsure as to which animal to include with your school, try asking your local fish store.
 Oftentimes the problem is finding tropical freshwater fish that will be compatible with the rainbow fish; even tetras are known for nipping fins every so often.
 In addition to being a very mild tempered animal, they're relatively hearty as well, making them ideal fish for beginning tanks.
 Be sure to include lots of places for your fish to hide or sleep.
 Being naturally shy creatures, rainbow tropical fish need places for privacy and will lose their natural colors if overstressed.
 When caring for this species, be sure to have a quality water testing kit on hand.
 In addition to this, having a high quality heater and thermometer can't hurt either.


These are only a few things to consider when caring for a rainbow tropical fish.
