Hello!!
I´ve just bought a cople of rainbows here in Sweden.
But I don´t know which kind it is.
One was sold as "Blue
rainbow" and the other one as "Yellow rainbow".
Is there
anyone who is familiar with this and can tell me there real names?
The
blue one is greyish blue and have a dark stripe in the middle of the body. The
fins are darkish grey. When they are in good mood they show a lovley blue color
on there head.
I´ve been looking in Gerald Allen´s book
"Rainbowfishes in nature and aquarium" and I think it might could be
the Misool rainbow???
The yellow one did I have a harder time with and I
have no suggestion about it. But it is slightly yellow with a darker mid lateral
stripe and it has orange fins. It is also were long and has a low body. The
fishes isn´t very old.
Then I have another question, How do I sex
the rainbows?
I have four Boesemani that is rather big. All of them shows
this greenish shine from there heads sometime and two of them are very found of
eachother, but nothing seems to happen. What shall I
do?
Thanks
Cecilia
