Rainbowfish - Boesmani (Melanotaenia boesemani)
The Boesemani Rainbowfish (Melanotaenia boesemani) is a popular, active, and peaceful freshwater fish known for its distinctive two-tone coloration: a vibrant blue or green front half and a fiery orange or yellow rear half. Native to West Papua, Indonesia, it is a hardy and excellent addition to community aquariums.
Key Features:
- Peaceful, active schooling fish. Best kept in groups of six or more to reduce stress and encourage vibrant coloration.
- Temperament - they are compatible with other peaceful community fish of similar size, such as Corydoras catfish, gouramis, larger tetras, and other rainbowfish species
- Moderate-friendly care level
- Maximum size: 8-12cm
- Ideal water temperature: 22.0°C - 28.0°C
- pH range: 7.0 - 8.0
While plants are suitable for aesthetic purposes, ample open swimming space is crucial. A dark substrate can help enhance their colors. A sealed lid is recommended as they are known to jump.
