Rainbows

Post by starsplitter7 » Tue Jan 25, 2011 8:59 pm

I was wondering if anyone can send me in the right direction to the identity of some new rainbows that I bought as various rainbows. :)

They are pink and shiney. There's blue irridescence with yellow and orange fins. Does this ring a bell? If that isn't enough I will try to post a picture.

Thanks.

38 tanks, 2 ponds over 4000 liters of water to keep clean and fresh.

Happy fish keeping!

Thank you both. I will need to post a picture. I think these may still be young, or maybe they are females. They are very pretty and peaceful.

Now that the rainbows have settled in, I am pretty sure they are torquoise rainbows. They are very easy going fish, and they have eben schooling with the rachous giant danios. After a couple days of disputes, everyone gets along well. At a quick glance, I can't tell a difference between the rainbos and the danios. Same body shape, size, swim pattern. Of course, if I look, they are easy to tell apart.
