Tankmates:
Rainbow Sharks are best kept with other peaceful species but can be territorial with other bottom-dwelling fish. Good tankmates include tetras, barbs, and loaches.

Diet:
Omnivorous. They will happily consume flakes, pellets, and live or frozen foods like bloodworms, brine shrimp, and other invertebrates.

Care Tips:
