Glossolepis incisus "Red Rainbow" - Medium
As juveniles, the Red Rainbow is rather dull, with silver to gold irredescent coloration, and not a trace of the namesake red. However, once a male begins to mature, the striking, bright red begins to show! The entire body and fins become a scarlet red, with little flecks of silver thrown in below the dorsal fin. Because of their body shape and large arch in their back, males appear to have very large eyes in comparison to their head size. Females retain the silver coloration, though they lean a bit more towards a gold-pale maroon color with translucent fins.
Rainbows are an active, peaceful fish that enjoys schooling, so it is best to keep in groups of 4 or more. They will do well in a peaceful community tank, as well as a slightly more aggressive tank. They aren't too fussy about tank decor but do very well in a planted tank. They will eat a variety of prepared foods including flake, granules, and frozen.
