The Maccullochella Rainbowfish is a hardy and attractive freshwater species known for its shimmering silver body with yellow tones and fine spotting. Males develop brighter colours, especially during breeding displays. It is an excellent choice for peaceful community aquariums and planted tanks.

---

Behaviour

Active and social, this species thrives in groups. It should be kept in schools of at least 6 to encourage natural behaviour and stronger colour display. Males may spar harmlessly to establish hierarchy but are not aggressive.

---

Tank Size

Minimum Tank Size: 90 litres

Provide open swimming space with planted areas around the edges. They appreciate moderate water flow and a secure lid, as rainbowfish can jump.

---

Compatibility

Suitable for peaceful community tanks.

Good tank mates include:

• Other Rainbowfish species (similar size)

• Peaceful Barbs

• Corydoras

• Small to medium Tetras

Avoid keeping with aggressive or very slow, long-finned fish.

---

Diet

Omnivore

Feeds on:

• Quality flake or micro pellets

• Frozen foods (bloodworm, brine shrimp, daphnia)

• Live foods

• Occasional vegetable matter

Feed once or twice daily in small amounts.

---

Care

Water Temperature: 22–28°C
pH Range: 6.5–7.5

Perform regular weekly water changes (25–30%). Provide good filtration and stable water parameters, as rainbowfish are sensitive to poor water quality. A varied diet will help enhance colouration.
