• GH: 4 – 12 dGH

Dwarf Neon Rainbows are adaptable and do well in most freshwater tanks, making them suitable for Pakistani aquarists.

Tank Setup:

A minimum of 15 gallons is recommended for a group of Dwarf Neon Rainbows. They thrive in planted aquariums with plenty of hiding spaces provided by driftwood, plants, and rocks. As peaceful fish, they should be kept in schools of at least 6 or more to prevent territorial behavior. They do well with other peaceful species such as tetras, mollies, and Corydoras.

Feeding:

These fish are omnivorous and will accept a variety of foods, including high-quality flakes, pellets, live/frozen bloodworms, and vegetables. A balanced diet ensures vibrant coloration and long-term health.

Breeding:

Breeding Dwarf Neon Rainbow Fish is possible in a well-maintained aquarium. They are egg layers and will spawn on plants or aquarium surfaces. Keep the water conditions stable to encourage breeding, and separate the parents to protect the fry.

Compatibility:

Dwarf Neon Rainbow Fish are peaceful and thrive in community tanks with other non-aggressive fish like tetras, rasboras, and snails. They should be kept with similar-sized peaceful species, avoiding larger or aggressive fish.
