The Celebes Rainbowfish (Marosatherina ladigesi) is a popular choice for planted tanks due to its striking appearance and peaceful nature. Here’s what makes the Celebes Rainbow a great addition to a planted aquarium:

Key Characteristics:

Appearance: Celebes Rainbowfish are known for their slender bodies, adorned with a combination of silver and blue with subtle yellow and black markings. They often exhibit a luminous quality under proper lighting, adding vibrancy to any tank.

Size: They typically grow to about 2.5-3 inches (6-7.5 cm), making them suitable for medium-sized tanks.

Behavior: These fish are peaceful and do best in groups of six or more, as they are naturally shoaling fish. Keeping them in groups helps reduce stress and encourages natural behavior.

Lifespan: They can live around 3-5 years with good care.

Habitat and Tank Requirements:

• Water Parameters:
  • Temperature: 72°F-82°F (22°C-28°C)
  • pH: 7.0-8.0
  • Hardness: Moderate to hard water is ideal.
• Tank Size: A minimum of 20 gallons is recommended, especially when keeping a small group.
• Aquascape: They thrive in well-planted tanks with plenty of hiding spots and open swimming spaces. Driftwood, rocks, and floating plants can help mimic their natural habitat.
• Lighting: Moderate to bright lighting helps bring out their natural iridescence.

Compatibility:

Celebes Rainbowfish get along well with other peaceful community fish, such as tetras, guppies, rasboras, and other rainbowfish species. Avoid pairing them with aggressive or much larger fish.

Diet:

They are omnivores and should be fed a varied diet for optimal health. High-quality flake food, pellets, and live or frozen food like brine shrimp, daphnia, and bloodworms can be part of their regular feeding regimen.
