Celebes Rainbowfish (Marosatherina ladigesi), Tank-Bred 1.25"+
Product Details
The Celebes Rainbowfish (Marosatherina ladigesi) is one of the less widespread rainbowfish species and is native only to the streams of Sulawesi, Indonesia. It lives in very large schools in areas with dense vegetation, so it is an ideal candidate for the planted aquarium and especially enjoys the cover of floating plants. Males display iridescent yellow and blue coloration on their bodies and fins, particularly while competing with other males. The second dorsal and anal fins of males become very extended and fan-like with maturity. Females are typically smaller and somewhat less colorful, but still very attractive.
The Celebes Rainbowfish is peaceful with other fish species of similar size and can also be kept with peaceful invertebrates that are too large to be considered prey. It may prey on dwarf shrimp at its adult size, although it does not have a particularly large mouth. The most intense color will be displayed when this fish is kept in schools of 6 or more, including multiple males, in a heavily planted, spacious aquarium to ensure that subdominant males are not overly harassed by dominant males. As with many rainbowfish, darker substrate will also often result in better coloration. While it has often been incorrectly reported that this fish lives in or requires brackish water, it is a fully freshwater species that is simply able to survive in lightly brackish water. This is a testament to the Celebes Rainbowfish’s hardiness, although this fish typically does not fare well in soft water.
