Description
Also known as the Emerald Rainbow.
Large males get up to 5 inches in length and develop a very deep body with brilliant iridescent green color. Females slightly smaller and not as deep bodied.
A very hardy rainbow as long as water parameters are kept consistent and water temp is kept below 84 degrees F.
Very good companion for Discus but only if kept in large aquariums (75 gallons and up) as they can be very aggressive eaters and can spook your Discus at feeding time.
