Turquoise Rainbowfish - Melanotaenia lacustris Rainbowfish are quickly becoming one of the most popular groups of fish for the larger community aquarium and Turquoise Rainbows are no exception! These blue beauties grow out to 4 inches and pose no threats to their smaller tank mates. Temperature should be between 70 and 78 degrees for them to really show their colors. All rainbowfish prefer to be in groups in long aquariums with a lot of swimming room, therefore a 36" long tank is bare minimum for the Turquoise Rainbows and some of the smaller fish in the genus Melanotaenia. Planted tanks are preferable with very little to no driftwood in the habitat. Driftwood tends to soften and help to acidify the water, rainbows like water neutral to slightly alkaline, with a pH between 7.0 and 8.0. The great news is that the Grand Rapids metro tap water (and most surrounding wells) is the perfect pH for these beautiful fish!
