The presence of fish of the species rainbow fish
Few inhabit brackish water, marine rarely. In Australia they are living in three climatic zones. To fluctuations in physico-chemical parameters they are more vulnerable than individuals from Australia from New Guinea. During the dry season, some species are flowing down rivers to escape with brackish water. Those that must remain are forced to live for some time in drying up the puddles. In the tropical forests of New Guinea at all times maintain a temperature of 25-30 C. There's this stable climate monsoon, the water is usually slightly acidic, very soft and low saline.
The representatives of this family live mainly in freshwater northern and eastern Australia, New Guinea and several nearby islands, some of which are endemic. Bedotia and rheocles (secreted into separate families) are endemic of Madagascar. Rainbowfish fish found in waters flowing and standing.

Features - appearance
These are small, colorful fish about the body laterally strongly ścieśnionym, slim to stocky. Body length is in the range from several to 12 centimeters. They distinguished by the presence of two dorsal fins with a wide gap between them. The first of these fins is 3-7 rays and is much smaller than the other (beams 6-22). The lateral line absent or underdeveloped. The scales large. In many species, sexual dimorphism is strongly marked.
Rainbowfishes for many years are very popular. They are very decorative fish, beautifully colored, mild and very resistant and easy to farm. You can hold in one aquarium several different species. These fish are gregarious, active and very busy demanding a spacious aquarium.
Rainbowfishes swim in the upper and middle part of the tank. They are very sociable and feel best in a larger group. It should be kept in groups of at least 6-10 individuals, males kept in a shoal best show its colors.
Rainbowfishes are very easy to breeding. There are a rugged, smooth and very active. They have interesting shapes and colors. They are not fussy feeding. They are perfectly suited to both social tanks and single-species. Most of them have a calm temperament and also fit into community aquarium with other calm fish with the same requirements. You can stick them together with small and medium-sized cichlids, żyworódkami. They can be the perfect complement to the so-called. Dutch aquariums.
Rainbowfishes require a large aquarium densely planted with plants and a large free space for swimming. The tank does not have to be high, it's important to keep you long. Should have a minimum 100 cm long, with lush vegetation but also vast area for swimming. Ensure water movement for better gas exchange. Efficient filter will provide adequate filtration and cleanliness and water quality.
In breeding these fish is the most important water temperature, oxygen saturation and the content of the products of metabolism. The water temperature from 24 to 26 C, while during the spawning about 28 C. Water chemistry or pH and water hardness must be within a reasonable range. In general, should be within the limits of 3-12 n and pH 6.8-7.8.
In nature rainbowfishes feed on small crustaceans, insects land and water and algae. Of course, at home we feed rainbowfishes variety of dry food, frozen and alive. There are fish that eat all in large quantities. Particularly desirable is the administration of larvae ochotek and mosquitoes and fleas. They are also valuable plant foods such as spinach or lettuce blanched. Rainbowfishes should be fed 3-4 times daily in an amount that is not falls too quickly to the bottom, because they are very reluctant to be drawn from the bottom.
Rainbowfishes easy to reproduce, we can multiply in groups, as well as pairs. Under appropriate conditions, quite often they spawn in tanks general. However, if the fuel generally keep several species of rainbow fish, use a pair of transfer to the aquarium tarliskowego, not to create and maintain the purity of hybrid species. The male during the spawning season is really impressive is colored, it swims with fins taut and attracting the attention of females lures her into a clump of plants.
Rainbowfishes fish are so called. spawning continuous, ie. during the spawning season consists of every day. Spawning usually takes place in the pores of the morning and lasts several days. The fertilized eggs are sticking to the vegetation. The larvae hatch in about a week. The water in the tank dedicated to spawn should have a temperature of 28 C, rather soft water with a pH of about 7. At the time of spawning, the fish come in contact bellies, then released roe attaches to the plants in the tank. Development of eggs is from 6 - 9 days depending on the species, and water temperature. Podrośniętego fry rearing does not cause any problems, fry eats a lot of food and not fussy.
