The male Threadfin Rainbowfish (scientific name: Iriatherina Werneri) highlighting itself with the very long elaborate rear fins is surely a welcomed inhabitant to any community, especially planted aquariums.
Threadfin Rainbowfish is a widely-traded species, indigenous to densely planted rivers and streams with slow-moving currents in New Guinea and Australia. They prefer dwelling in mature and less turbulent aquariums with warm temperature and soft and slightly acidic water. The peaceful species often stays in the middle and upper areas of aquariums and is known for jumping occasionally. Although it is quite pleasing to observe, such behavior should be discouraged to avoid them jumping out of the tank. The most common and highly recommended method for solving this issue is using floating plants (such as hornwort and duckweed) to cover the water surface. It kills two birds with one stone as it provides the aesthetic view in addition to resembling Threadfin Rainbowfish’s natural habitat.
Threadfin Rainbowfish is a shoaling species and should be kept in a group of at least 6 specimens. It not only encourages them to be active but also displays the optimal coloration when they swim together.
