Or just keep feeding them little bits because sooner or later they will eat when they get hungry.
Hi Boff, thanks for the advice. I dont think I will be able to get the live brineshrimp or fresh daphnia. But I can get the frozen daphnia and will get some on saturday. When I am at petsmart I will ask them what they have been feeding the rainbows there. I have such a large variety of foods here, you would think that they would eat something!

Rainbows do better around 76. I think 80+ is going to be to warm for them. I also have a few tetra in this tank & every body gets along fine. My only problem fish is the Buenos aires thats a fin nippin little brat. Next time I add new rainbows to this tank in about 2 weeks if he fin nips like he did my 2 new bosemani you will find him listed on craigs list under the free to good home section.
