Rainbow Kurt - New Member Says Hello

Hi All,

I am a new member of Aquarium Central, but I am not new to the hobby. I have been a freshwater fish enthusist for 40 years, and have collected and kept a wide variety of small to medium sized fish through the years. I have successfully spawned several varieties, including Rainbowfish and fancy Goldfish - primarily lionheads and orandas.

I presently have a 55 gallon tank set-up dedicated primarily to rainbowfish of Australia and Papua New Guniea.

I have added a few smaller tank mates including cardinals, long-finned white clouds, hi-bred longfin zebra danios and a pair of Congo tetras.

I enjoy the rainbow spawning activity color flashes, in the morning especially, when they exhibit virtually every color of the rainbow, between the various varieties I have in the tank.

I look forward to reading the forums and finding other Rainbowfish enthusiasts like myself to trade stories and information with.

Best regards, Rainbow Kurt

Hi Vampie! I picked that name because I really like the colorful Rainbowfish of Australia and Papua New Guinea. Why did you pick your unusual name?

I have one pair of praecox rainbows about 2.5 inches long. They haven't shown any signs of spawning yet. I got them recently at Pet Smart of all places. Perhaps they could order them for you.
Do you have any rainbow varieties in your tank? Kurt

I have uploaded 7 quick snapshots of my Rainbowfish tank on my profile albums. I will take some further pictures in the near future spotlighting some of the individual fish with the proper lighting.
