Description

Pigeon rainbows are freshwater rainbowfish, a family of active, colourful fish from Australia and New Guinea. Males are generally the more colourful.

Pigeon rainbows are schooling fish, best kept in groups of six or more to help them feel secure and promote natural behaviour. Consider a long aquarium to give them room to swim, with plenty of live plants.

Rainbowfish are peaceful and suit community aquariums with other peaceful fish of a similar size. They may outcompete slower swimmers at feeding time.

At Wirral Aquatics we feed our rainbows Artemia powder and live and frozen foods including baby brine shrimp, daphnia and cyclops.

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.

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.
