Deepwater Creek Rainbowfish

A locality-specific rainbowfish named for the exact waterway it was collected from, a common practice in the Melanotaeniidae family where color and pattern can vary noticeably between neighboring drainages of the same broader species group. Sold here as a pair, with the rich coloring typical of the family only fully settling in as the fish matures under good care. Peaceful and active, best kept as part of a real school in a larger community tank.

Care level: Easy · Temperament: Peaceful, shoaling · Max size: ~4" · Min tank: 30 gal · Diet: Omnivore, flake/pellet
