Description
Neon dwarf rainbow fish hail from the small, fast moving water systems within the rainforest of New Guinea. Growing to around 8cm in length, Neon dwarf rainbows are best identified by their almond shaped bodies which shimmer as they move.
Neon dwarf rainbows are hardy, active schooling fish, best kept in groups of six or more to promote natural schooling behaviour and full colouration. We recommend keeping at least one or two females to each male to limit male bickering.
Neon dwarf rainbows look stunning as they swim the length of the aquarium and the light catches the blue sheen of their bodies. Consider plenty of free-swimming space for these fish, however, it can also be beneficial to have tall, live plants within your aquarium that will provide a break in line of sight to reduce tussling.
At Wirral Aquatics we feed our Neon dwarf rainbows EBO Pro Soft artemia, insect meal, seafood, mussel and live and frozen foods including baby brine shrimp, cyclops and daphnia.

Ordering livestock
We strive to ensure that we honour all orders placed online. However, we are a small, busy shop and tracking livestock inventory can be challenging. If we are unable to fulfil your order, we will contact you as soon as possible to discuss options so that you can decide how you would like to proceed.
If livestock are appearing out of stock on our website, it does not necessarily mean that they are not available in store. If there is something that you are looking for, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss what is possible.
If you would like to view footage of the particular fish that you are looking to purchase, please contact us and we will send footage as per your request.
