Boesmani Rainbowfish (Melanotaenia boesemani)

Boesmani Rainbowfish are well-known for their stunning half-and-half colouration, with a deep blue front half and a bright yellow-orange back half. They are peaceful but active swimmers.

Minimum Tank Requirements:

• Tank Size: 120 litres or more
• Temperature: 24-28°C
• pH: 6.5-7.5

Tankmates:
They mix well with other peaceful fish, including tetras, barbs, danios, and gouramis. Avoid slow-moving or very small fish that may be intimidated by their activity level.

Diet:
Omnivorous. They thrive on high-quality flakes, pellets, and occasional live or frozen foods such as bloodworms and brine shrimp.

Care Tips:
Boesmani Rainbowfish should be kept in schools of at least 6 fish. Their colours become more vibrant with a high-quality diet and good water conditions. Provide a well-planted tank with open swimming areas.
