Product Description:

Scientific and Common Names: Threadfin Rainbowfish (Iriatherina werneri), also known as Featherfin Rainbowfish.

Habitat: Threadfin Rainbowfish are native to freshwater streams and rivers in Northern Australia and New Guinea.

Tank Setup: A spacious aquarium with a minimum capacity of 20 gallons is recommended for a group of 10 Threadfin Rainbowfish. Provide plenty of plants, rocks, and driftwood to create hiding spots and simulate their natural habitat. A sandy substrate is preferred.

Diet and Nutrition: Threadfin Rainbowfish are omnivorous and will readily accept a variety of foods. Offer them a balanced diet consisting of high-quality flakes, pellets, frozen or live foods such as brine shrimp, daphnia, and bloodworms.

Size and Growth Rate: Threadfin Rainbowfish typically grow to a size of 2-3 inches (5-7.5 cm) in length.

Behavioral Traits: These fish are known for their peaceful nature and active swimming behavior. They are shoaling fish and should be kept in groups of at least 6-8 individuals to ensure their well-being. Threadfin Rainbowfish are also known for their beautiful, elongated fins, which resemble delicate feathers.

Care Level: Threadfin Rainbowfish are relatively easy to care for, making them suitable for both beginner and experienced aquarists.

Breeding and Reproduction: To encourage breeding, provide a separate breeding tank with fine-leaved plants for the fish to deposit their eggs. The water temperature should be slightly higher (around 78-82°F or 25-28°C) and regular water changes are recommended. The eggs will hatch in approximately 7-10 days, and the fry can be fed with infusoria or commercially available fry food.

Health and Disease Prevention: Maintaining good water quality, regular water changes, and a balanced diet will help keep your Threadfin Rainbowfish healthy. Quarantine new fish before introducing them to your main aquarium to prevent the spread of diseases.

Optimal Water Conditions: Threadfin Rainbowfish prefer slightly acidic to neutral water with a pH range of 6.5-7.5. The water temperature should be maintained between 72-82°F (22-28°C). Provide moderate to high water flow and ensure good filtration.

Lifespan: With proper care, Threadfin Rainbowfish can live for 3-5 years.

Additional Interesting Facts: Threadfin Rainbowfish are known for their vibrant colors, with males displaying more intense hues than females. They are peaceful community fish and can be kept with other non-aggressive species of similar size. These fish are excellent jumpers, so it is important to have a secure lid on the aquarium to prevent escapes.
