One way to avoid stressing your rainbow fish is to keep the aquarium as calm as possible. While they are naturally shy and will avoid confrontation with larger, more aggressive fish, they will fight and hide if they become stressed. Stress will not only decrease their quality of life, but it can also lead to diseases. Rainbow fish should be kept in aquariums with no other species. Listed below are some ways to avoid stress in your rainbow fish.<\/p>\n

The Crimson Spotted Rainbow Fish is a tropical, colorful species of freshwater fish. These fish can grow to be almost five inches long at full maturity, but they are more commonly found under four inches. Their striking red spots on the gill plates give them their name. The males have a single red dot between the gills. They are found along the eastern coast of Australia, where they prefer still water near floating vegetation.<\/p>\n
The Crimson Spotted Rainbow thrives in larger fish community aquariums and do especially well in geographical tanks with other rainbows. Their nonaggressive nature makes them good tank mates, but aggressive tank mates can make them bullies. Keeping only good-natured fish in their tank is best, as chasing between different rainbows is rare unless one gets injured or harassed.<\/p>\n
The crimson spotted rainbowfish belongs to the family Melanotaeniidae. Their scientific name is Melanotaenia fluviatilis. It was first described by Castelnau in 1878, and is the earliest known rainbowfish. This species is also known as the Murray River Rainbowfish, the Inland Rainbowfish, and Crimson Spotted Rainbow Fish.<\/p>\n
