Steenfott Aquatics very cool video :)
Thank you Mark =)
steenfott u have helped me so much with everything thank u so much
I always see and hear you geeking out about rainbows, so glad you finally made a dedicated video for it
Steenfott Aquatics hey I want a community 100 gallon I want some small puffers Wht all can i put with them??
Love the rainbow fish content! I'd especially enjoy hearing more about some of the rarer rainbows you've got!
thank you for sharing this, I feel there isnt enough rainbow fish content on youtube, so glad to see you posted some quality information!
Rainbows are the most under rated fish. Easy to keep and awesome colours! Keep up the rainbow content!
Definitely under rated =)
I totally agree with you. I love them, their beauty, their energy, just about everything about them. Keep your water fresh and moving and they will reward you.
Simply stunning collection Bro!
Awesome list, your rainbows look amazing
Great info Bob, thanks!
Thank JD =)
Nice list of unique species. Beautiful additions to any tank or as single species tank. Wow, they are active & big fish.
Good topic Bob
Very beautiful rainbow fish! Agreed that they love plants :) I used to keep Boesemanis.
Great video Bob.
Love the rainbows. Definitely want some!!
Do it Keng =)
Amazing video, I started with 3 Australian Rainbowfish back in January they grew nicely, I definitely have a dominant male that has nice fins with the yellow similar to yours, recently I bought 3 Boesemani and 2 Turquoise to add to the school and I love all of them cant wait until they grow up and get more color, they are all kept in a 55 with Platys, Guppies and 1 Betta
Looking great bob!
Thanks buddy =)
sweet fish and i have had a lot of fun getting to know this species, sorta cichlid like in their behaviors!
Just got into Rainbows…literally just looked up this video to re-watch! Cheers from PR Steen!
I found this video again five years later. Still a good watch. Cheers
Wow. Beautiful
Thanks Bob. So glad you got me hooked on Rainbows. :)
Glad i got someone hooked =)
Ty
That turquoise rainbow tho
Ive owed aussie rainbows in the past. Love em!
Thank you for the amazing video, I found this video while i am planning how I'll stock my 55 gallon community tank
Great video man.
Very nice
I lkke the red one with siler pearls reminds me of Christmas time
Great video Bob. I have not keep rainbows before so this video helps with what to start with. My bucket list is getting bigger with your rainbow videos. lol.
+Big Tony's Fish Room glad I could spread the rainbow bug:)
I had never kept Rainbowfish before, but thanks to some of your awesome tanks I now have Turturquoise, Boesemani, Red Irian, Threadfin, Parkinsoni and ForkTailed RainbowFish. Great video Bob.
Wow they are soo beautiful
First time to your channel love the video. Subscribed and looking at more of your videos. Keep it up. I like how you printed out the names so we can look them up.
I love rainbow fish.
Great video! I have 8 praecox dwarf rainbows, only two females. I observe, and my females seem to be in charge of things. The males don't seem to bug them that much and the females seem to be in charge of the spawning behavior. I love these fish... i'd love to have 100.
Beautiful fish! Getting back into a planted tank and going to keep rainbowfish again.
Awesome!!!
great video
I love your intro's ... Breaking Bad, Back to the Future (very creative)... And your fish ofcourse :)
Rainbow paradise! :)
Great rainbow video
+Triple 10 Tanks thanks triple ten
I just picked up some kamaka today at my lFS Only 2 because they were 25 bucks a piece but I’m super stoked about them they are the first rainbows I’ve ever kept and they look great with my school or neon rosy barbs. Great video 👍
Thanks, Kamakas are great
My rainbow fish is awesome …very aggressive! And I ❤️ It! 😁
awsome vid!
A video I missed. Thumbs up.
Thank you =)
Nice job on the video, something I should have done years ago, if I had I don't think it would be as good ! At one time I use to keep and breed 40 + different species of Rainbows ....now retired from breeding bows I keep a small group of the bosesmani (Lake Aytinjo), lacustris, and herbertaxlrodi from the Melanotania Genus plus the bleheri from the Chilatherina Genus and a multisquamata from the Glossolepis Genus. The later two not quite beginner bows.
Bob maybe you have had some pseudomugil-furcatus? Hands down those are my favorite. They are tiny, yes... but so much personality and those fins and blue eyes. Awesome! Scrap plans for that saltwater and do a nano tank of those.
This is great because I am moving my guppies and endlers out and more rainbows into my community planted tank I currently have neons and bosemani
Awesome =)
thanks for finally mentioning the Madagascar rainbows no ever does they are the rainbows that i keep although I have bedotia madagascarensis which stay a bit smaller than maybe 4 to 4 1/2 inches and don't have a spot under their chin like geayi very similar species though get mixed up a lot in the hobby
wow nice, i dont think i have ever seen those in person.
These are my favorite kind of videos: educational and helpful to other hobbyists. I notice you didn't mention threadfin or celebes rainbows. You don't recommend them for beginners?
The first time I watched one of your videos... I didn't like you. But here I am today wishing I knew you in person. XD Thanks for sharing the info on the rainbowfish; you've officially got my attention. Now if only I had a bigger tank... Some day. :-P
Bob has the best variety of buetiful fish on you tube
Love your tanks man. Keep up the good work have you a sub
I have had the Australian, Boesemani, Praecox, and Madagascar when I had a big house and a 125 gallon tank. I live in a little house now and my biggest tank is 75 gallons, I currently have 8 Goyder River Rainbows but I desperately want some Boesemani again.
Thank you for this wonderful video🤗 I am currently doing research on the rainbows I have and you verified that I have a Lake Kamaka rainbow! I do have a variety of rainbows 🌈 and I love them all! I just got the book Rainbowfishes by Gerald R. Allen. So far it has helped me identify some of my rainbows. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos😄
+Aquaticfish7 Awesome, love the kamaka rainbows. Great book too
@@SteenfottAquatics
At 6:30 are those rainbow shiners?
You're making me love rainbow fish! How far down the list are the lovely Pseudomugil gertrudae?
Nice!
Hey Bob...love the videos. Have 3 pea puffers I was feeding and thought of Little Steen. I put a zuccunni* on a plastic covered metal cloths pin and drop into snail tank .. few hours later just pick up and shake into your hand and re-drop. lol Little Steen Happy.. lol Have a great day
+Sherry Swinney thank you Sherry :)
Dope intro
Love those Lacustris and Parkinsonii, i wantt them in my tank
Nice collection you got going =)
Thanx! Your tanks are beautiful, by the way. What do you feed him, how big will he get and will he go after small fish, like tetras?
Rainbows!!! Best fish in the hobby!!!
You're making me want rainbows
Can you do a top 5 for harder to keep rainbow fish? Also, there are so many different rainbows out there. Could you do a video quickly comparing them? And a vid showing there juvenile vs adult look would be awesome. Thanks.
That would be an awesome video, but really hard to make without owning them myself =(
Good vid I’m thinking of getting some rainbows
Nice video and great looking fish Bob. You are the reason I have rainbow fish in my 75 gallon. (true story) I'm just curious about the below 80 deg water temperature you mentioned a few times in this video. I currently have my rainbows at 82.5 - 83.0 deg F. When I got them I searched the internet and found the majority of rainbow care sites had 82 deg. listed as optimum. This is purely a question and not a critique. Keep publishing the great videos.
You inspired me to start a rainbow tank, I have 2 species so far the Melanotaenia splendida and Melanotaenia Preacox :) I'm looking into the Kamaka since they are stunning as well! Have a good one
YESSSSSSS! I want this for a 55 :)
Beautiful fish and informative vid. Which rainbow is bigger, the boesmani or the Turqoise rainbowfish? Thanks
Very vibrant colorful rainbow fishes you have, very envy.
Mine are not so colorful, probably the weather here doesn't bring our their color potential.
Still your logo is still catching my attention instead. Hahaha!
Hi. Does anyone know which species the small red fish are in the main tank? and which species are the larger fish?
Stunning rainbows!
The best beginner rainbow fish aka Bob's excuse to show off his rainbows 👍
I still say get you a spotted blue eye for the nano tank by the window 😉
Great video! Maybe I missed it but what size tank would you recommend for the Praecox? I know you said 4ft for the others but didn't catch this one.
I got into the hobby just over a year ago and have really tried to educate myself and I've become pretty successful with my 55 gallon tank. I have live plants but i got a little excited and bought a bunch of bleeding heart and rainbow tetras and i have two boesemani rainbow and now that i've had a chance to learn and grow my fish out for a year or so im looking at selling off my tetras and getting more rainbows. My question is how many rainbows do you think i can get for my 55 gallon? I have a 306 fluval canister filter and im going to eventually upgrade to a 75 gallon as im falling in love with the hobby. Thanks!
Ty for sharing! Awesome rainbows! What's the little very little red fish some sort of tetra? PS Gary Lang Rocks! 🐠🚨
ember tetra?
I think its good to let people know that there are two Madagascar rainbowfish ( gaeyi & madagascarensis ) they are different in max size and you may mix them down the road and have trouble breeding. Tip: always get your females with your males and true gaeyi which are actually rare, have a red dot on their bottom lip!
I just bought a group of boesemanis and when the male coloured up and had a dark blue colour and white stripes i thought it was like a common farmed one but then i saw this and it seems its a great quality one 😂😂
You get better and better like you video
Catching up on some of your older videos. Any reason is a good reason to look at some rainbows.
I'm dumb I know but I just noticed these guys change colors as they turn hence the name rainbow lol Great filming there Bob👍
What kind of rainbow is under the turquoise at 7:25 with blue then the black line and a white belly
I know it’s not the subject, but those are some nice looking pristellas.
When u move onto the second tank I see a beautiful little fish in amongst the grass. Could you tell me what that is please.
Found this video while doing some research. Building out a 55 gallon aquarium and plan to make rainbows the focal point. Should rainbows from the big box stores color up like those in your main tank as they grow? And how does one go about getting something like your more colorful bosemani in the other tank?
Added to liked videos 😊
Hi, could you make a video how you feed them? Thanks
Cool stuff. So what are the smaller thin red fish around the 7 minute mark? Are they rainbow shiners I cant tell but their awesome. Thanks
What are you doing to us Bob! I've never kept rainbows but always craved them, this really hasn't helped! Great video as usual dude
I'm just trying to spread the love of rainbowfish =) Glad you enjoyed it
I was just wondering when can you expect rainbowfish to start widening out? I've had my 6 irian reds for about a half year and while theyve grown I haven't seen them widen. they're in a 75 gal with a Flag chiclid and a pair of Edged Knife livebearers
I have a 20 long in storage. Will that be adequate for the Praecox?
Are those redbelly dace in with the rainbowfish around the 4:30 mark? The small red schooling fish.
Should get some Trifasciata: Habgood river, Blyth River and green Coen River ones
wow so pretty. do you also keep smaller rainbows like threadfins, spotted blues, paska, celebes and forktail?
I keep and have kept a few different varieties of psuedomugils =)
Hi, beginner here, looking for stocking my 39g. You have a great collection. Thanks for all the information. At 7:22 there's a purple/pink/white rainbow fish. Which one's that please?
hey steenfott I have a few questions would it be possible to keep the dwarf neon rainbow fish in a 75 gallon tank with a few goldfish if so is it common to find them at a good quality in a LFS or something like pet land also I keep my tank at around 72-76 ℉
how would you fix that sore, on the rainbow you spoke of in this video?
I have my rainbows with congos 👍🏼
+LISLANDaquariums thats a great combo
Are those red shiners in the 125? I’m looking to get some and I’ve read they can only go about 12-22 degree C and was wondering what you, if they are red shiners, kept them at?
How big will they grow, I only own a 29 gallon tank since like too small for them
@Steenfott Aquatics Can i ask what are the other fish mates do you have in with your Rainbows @4.10 as i want to try and replicate this tank here in the UK :D ty for the upload
HI. You cited a fish that had a wound. My older rainbows develop things like that occasionally. What is that and what can be done?
How big to Irian Reds have to be to show their color? My LFS store has some about 3" for a good price but not much color, I'm wondering if they haven't colored up yet or if they just aren't colorful.
Can you make a „ Best tankmates for rainbow fish " ? That would be interesting :)
Is there any species of rainbows I can add to a ten gallon? Or is a 20 long or 29 gallon necessary
