plants for rainbows

DO you mean live plants? You'd probably get a better response in the Aquatic plant section.


Have you cycled the tank?
Do you know what kind of rainbowfish?
How big is the tank?

As far as planting...they don't particularly care what kind of plants are in as long as there are some. Rainbowfish tend to prefer planted tanks that have a big open area for swimming and also dense plants for hiding.

My celebes seem to like the Java fern. Wisteria, anubias, crypts, hydrocotyle, ect.

Rainbows are also schooling fish, so if you have room, you might want to pick up 3 more.

if you mean just regular plastic plants - pick whatever you think looks the best

Now, respectfully asked... why would you go and get these fish when you already have a grossly overstocked bowl as it is? It would seem logical (in my mind) to move the fish in the supposedly already cycled 29 gallon rather than buying more fish to add onto the chaos. JMO.

Did I miss something?

No, not really. But this poster has another thread about Goldfish in a 3 gallon bowl. We have been briefly informed of a 10 gallon aquarium (possibly) available, but again... with the fish that you have, why buy more when you had an empty 29 gallon aquarium for use? Something just doesnt add up. Sorry..

Leo, here is the thread:

Enough said. Thanks AFG.
