Boesemani Rainbowfish (Male)

The Boesemani Rainbowfish is a spectacular freshwater species celebrated for its striking bicolor pattern—vibrant red and yellow hues on the posterior contrasting with brilliant blue and green on the anterior body. Males display particularly intense coloration, especially when in peak condition and established in their environment. These active, schooling fish thrive in well-planted aquariums with moderate to strong water flow and ample open swimming space. They're peaceful community fish that perform best in groups of six or more, creating a dynamic display of coordinated movement and color. Maintain water temperatures between 72-78°F with a pH of 6.5-7.5 in a mature, stable system. Feed a varied diet of quality flakes, micro pellets, and small live foods to enhance their natural coloration and support their energetic lifestyle. These hardy, visually stunning fish are excellent for both intermediate and experienced aquarists seeking an active, colorful schooling species with minimal aggression.
