The Rainbow Shark is a unique and beautiful species of fish, requiring a large aquarium with driftwood, rocks, and spots of dense vegetation. This species is known to set up territories within the tank and can become quite aggressive with its own kind. It is important to ensure adequate space is provided for multiple Rainbow Sharks, as overcrowding can lead to increased aggression. Furthermore, consider adding some hiding places throughout the aquarium to help reduce stress and create a safe space for the Rainbow Sharks to retreat.
Despite the lack of information on the Rainbow Shark’s breeding habits, we have learned a great deal about the species in terms of its behavior, diet, and habitat. Through research and observation, we know that the Rainbow Shark is an active fish that prefers to be in groups, and that its diet consists primarily of worms and insects.
The Rainbow Shark is a versatile omnivore that is not particular about its food. Flake food, freeze-dried bloodworms and tubifex, as well as vegetable-based foods can be fed to it.
