Description

Paska dwarf rainbows hail from Papua New Guinea. Growing up to 4cm in length, these super active, freshwater nano fish are renowned for their captivating neon orange bodies, iridescent stripes and extended fan like fins. If you’re looking for something a little bit unusual, these wee fish might be worth considering.

Paska dwarf rainbows are a schooling fish and will thrive best when kept in groups of six or more to help them feel secure. We recommend keeping at least one female to each male. The presence of the females will promote full colouration of the males and the males will in turn, gently spar with each other. This can be fascinating to watch.

Paska dwarf rainbows are fast swimmers. They can be housed with other similar sized, peaceful community fish however, be mindful that they may outcompete slower swimmers in reaching food first.

At Wirral Aquatics we feed our Paska dwarf rainbows EBO Pro Soft artemia powder and live and frozen foods including baby brine shrimp and daphnia.

Every aquarium is different. These are a guide based on water chemistry, adult size and temperament. Individual fish have their own personalities. Introduce new tank mates gradually, keep groups at the right numbers, and watch how everyone settles in. Ask our team if you'd like advice for your setup.

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.
