Neon Dwarf Rainbowfish (Melanotaenia praecox)
$12
The neon dwarf rainbowfish is a beautiful, almond-shaped fish with an iridescent blue sheen that flashes under the light. This hardy species is quite active and has a mild disposition that pairs well with many peaceful and semi-aggressive tank mates.
Melanotaenia praecox is a 3-inch (8 cm) rainbowfish found in streams and tributaries of the New Guinea rainforest. The males have a shiny blue body with blood red-orange fins, whereas the females have a silvery body with bright yellow fins.
Whilst they are generally peaceful, males will spar with each other or other male rainbowfish especially in the morning. This should not be an issue unless there are less females in the tank or the school is too small. They can be kept with practically any tropical freshwater fish that is not large or aggressive enough to eat them.
Temperature: 23-28°C
PH: 6.8-7.5
Hardness: 5-15°H
Diet: Omnivorous
3cm (approx) juveniles available at $12ea
Or 5 for $50
Photos listed are of our breeding adults and their offspring

Most of the Rabbit Snails we see in the aquarium hobby originate from the lakes of Sulawesi, Indonesia.
