Care and setup
Use a mature aquarium with open midwater swimming room, planted edges and steady filtration. Highlands Rainbowfish are peaceful, but they are active and confident, so pair them with other robust community fish that enjoy similar water.
Keep a group of at least 6. Mixed-size groups look natural, and males show stronger colour when they can display without being crowded.
Feeding
Offer quality flakes or small pellets as the staple, then rotate frozen foods such as daphnia, cyclops and brine shrimp. Small regular feeds keep the shoal active without overloading the aquarium.
Arrival and guarantee
Livestock orders are packed carefully and sent by licensed live-animal courier. The Live Arrival Guarantee applies when the receiving and acclimation instructions are followed.

I have a small group of long finned mountain minnows. So was delighted to be able to order ten of this variety to increase the genetics in my tank . The ones I recieved are healthy but it’s to early to give a verdict on wether they are of a long finned type since they are small currently.

100% success travel and "installation". Pleased with quality of purchase. The Siamese fighter a bit "shy" so have not yet seen him at his best yet but looking good. Happy customer. GG
