Aves Creek Boesemani Rainbowfish (Melanotaenia boesemani) - 2-3" Male. Remarks : Contrary to most rainbowfish species, male Boesemani rainbows ( Melanotaenia boesemani ) exhibit a different color pattern in the front half and back half of their body when mature. This line of Aves Creek Boesemani originates from Gary Lange. They are smaller and show more intense red coloration compared to the common Boesemani, which are yellow to orange in most cases. These fish are omnivorous and should be fed a quality flake food with supplemental proteins such as baby brine shrimp. They require clean water but tolerate a wide variety of water parameters. By providing frequent water changes, you will be rewarded with nearly continuous spawning attempts. Melanotaenia species deposit eggs in weedy areas (often mimicked by a yarn mop) and the eggs hatch 7-10 days later. Eggs ca. Source: Imperial Tropicals live fish catalogue.
