Boeseman's Rainbowfish?

Question

What are some general care requirements for a Boesman's? And what is the recommended school size/s*x mix?

Answer 1

feed it lots of different things like live/frozen/freeze dried/flakes but try to feed less flakes and stuff because they need a lot of different foods, and keep up with frequent water changes and maintenance, 25%-50% a week especially if its really stocked. plants and swimming spaces, 30gal + tank and make sure you have a secure cover because they can jump out. Temperature should be 70-79, Hardness 8 - 25 dGH, and Ph 6.5 - 8.5. make sure there are no other fish that can bully it, stick to peaceful fish. if you only get 5 stick with one gender, if more then keep atleast 1 or 2 more females than males
