If you need some blue in your tank, these fish are as blue as you can get in fresh water. They are a fairly large rainbowfish, topping out around 5 inches. Mine got along fine with adult angelfish and did not bother plants or smaller fish. Rainbow fish are fairly active swimmers and probably should not be kept with fish that are any shyer than angels.

I love my Kutubu Rainbow. It has been a great addition to my tank. Tank info: Temp. 82 and Ph is about 7.2

I have a male and a female Kutubu rainbow, I love this fish! The male loves to show off for his female, and flash his bright yellow forehead. This is a fun fish to watch. They are full of personality.
