Here's a couple of my Praecox Rainbows. I'll be adding a few more on Friday!

 

I only have one good picture of my Threadfin Rainbows at the moment.

 

Got This one a week ago. Colour hasn't come in yet.

 

Boesemani, Threadfin, & Preacox (neon dwarf) Rainbows

 

My Rainbow Fish

Here are two of my rainbow fish. I have 9, but the rest are too hard to get a good picture of.

 

Here are my 5 rainbows. Just got them today. Front to back its 2 Turquoise, 2 Australian, and a Boesemani.

 

More photos of my Rainbows, Australian, 5" Adult Boesemani, Parkinson, & Neon Dwarf

 

Wow, great pics people.




My 6 year old male Boeseman's Rainbow raised by me, now 5.5 inches. Lives in 90 gallon 6 foot aquarium with 3 females with which he mates every morning.

Photo taken with small digital Sony DSCW50 with sunlight on the subject.




My Boeseman's in their home (don't worry about the algae, it's being taken care of by my Bristlenoses!)

 

Some pics of my BoesemanI Rainbows, considering they were from Petsmart and indistinguishable from the Australians Petsmart was also selling I think they coloured up nicely (same goes for the Harlequin Rasboras which were silver and black when I got them).

 

 

This Is prob the best pic I have of them.
All 6 of my praecox rainbows

 

Shots of a few of my dominate males..
Threadfin Rainbow


Psuedomugil Gertrudae 'aru'


Pseudomugil PaskaI 'red neon'


Pseudomugil Signifer



Wish I had a better shot of Signifer or a shot of my Threadfin flashing, but they wouldn't cooperate.

 

Here are a few of my Rainbows. I love the species. Cool..active fish.









In order..Red Irian, Turquoise, Boesemanni, MarcI and Emerald and the whole gang!! I just bought a Praecox Rainbow....he is a TOUGH one to get a picture of. I have not had much success with them..so we'll see how well he does. My Buenos Aries tetras seem to dislike him.

. They are starting to get a lot of color!

My trifasciatas went from QT to a 20 gallon long breeding tank.






Some fry.

 

Gorgeous fish! Excellent pictures! It's hard to get them to hold still to get a decent shot!

I was thinking about gettng a new dslr (had a D5100) and while it was great for outdoors, it wasn't very good for indoor or for fish. I upgraded to a D7500 and a new 16-80mm lens but the 35mm lens works better for fish.







Not sharp but the 3 species of rainbows I have.



A few of the praecox I bred.
