Turquoise or Lake Kutubu Rainbowfish have striking colors, with males having an intense blue color, that make for a great centerpiece in the aquarium. Rainbowfish are known for the characteristic large eyes, black or silver band that runs through the middle scale rows, deeply forked mouth, and two dorsal fins.
This peaceful fish is a schooling fish that should be housed in a planted aquarium with plenty of swimming room. A gravel substrate will add to a good environment and, if dark enough, may intensify the colors of the fish.
An egg layer, Melanotaenia lacustris spawns over moss in early morning or just after dawn in low to moderate lighting. The fry hatch after roughly eight days and should be fed small live foods such as brine shrimp.
Although Turquoise Rainbows have large mouths, their throats tend to be narrow. Foods fed should be small in size. Their omnivorous diet should include prepared flake, frozen, and live foods.

Fish arrived healthy. In great shape!
thanks for the five star and great review
Extremely disappointed with this seller's unprofessionalism and lack of customer service. ordered a specific type of fish, and to avoid any confusion, I even confirmed with them that it was the correct one before placing my order. Despite this, they shipped me the wrong fish entirely. To add insult to injury, they insisted pay for return shipping to receive a refund for their mistake! had to go to extreme lengths and waste a significant amount of time to finally get my money back. Their unwillingness to take responsibility for their error speaks volumes. Save yourself the hassle and avoid this vendor at all costs.
Please if you going to leave a review leave a fair review on the product you made a mistake ordering, you received every fish was listed on your order and even offered you a discount deal if you want to order the right fish, but no you wanted to keep what I shipped witch is what you ordered by mistake(for free)!
