The lonely Threadfin rainbow

Hi ,i only have one left and would like him to have a friend that is not a fin nipper and not a threadfin rainbow .
He lives in a 15 liter tank , so the friend has to be small .

Thanks

 

Post him to me. Then he can have 2 friends.

What happened to your female? Didnt she recover from the whitespot.

 

She died ,death unknown.

 

Sorry about that dude. Its always a shame to lose a fish to unknown causes.

 

Thanks

 

Why dont you want to get him a threadfin pal? He'll be MUCH happier

 

Yeah the more threadfins the better.

 

They keep on dying or I keep on killing them .

 

Wow i keep rainbows and that didnt pop up in my head. Ai ai. Jip they need their swimming space. Like i have 8 rainbows and 100l is not enough i think for them

 

Threadfins are small and only get like 5cm .
The tank is L30cm x W22 x H25=16.5 litres

 

They are very active. I would recomend 6 of them in a 80l tank. Their character en beauty will come through then.

 

They are also very sensitive to water conditions. Or should I rather say changes in water conditions. I have kept mine for about a year and only had 1 incident with changing conditions. That killed all of them except the 2 that I have. I plan to get more in a few month time once my 4ft is going.

 

Bigger is better :laugh:

 

yes:

I suggest getting a few mates for him, in a slightly bigger tank. You can't justify accommodation purely on max size, but rather on behavioural characteristics too.

 

But you gotta love them

 

They are not that readily available and once bitten twice shy.

 

My lps gets them on thursday.

 

In the future I will be keeping more harder fish .

 

The lonely Threadfin rainbow is not so lonely anymore ,he is now a community fish.
He does look happy.
