Description
Threadfin rainbows hail from the island of New Guinea, from around Merauke in Papua, Indonesia. Growing up to just 4cm in length, these peaceful nano fish are adored for the long, trailing filaments on the dorsal and anal fins of the males.
Threadfin rainbows are best kept in groups of six or more to help them feel secure and promote natural behaviour.
To mimic their natural environment, consider a planted nano aquarium with a very gentle flow.
Threadfin rainbows are small fish that need fine foods. At Wirral Aquatics we feed our threadfin rainbows Artemia powder, along with live and frozen foods including baby brine shrimp, daphnia and cyclops.

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.
