The Red Irian Rainbow, also known as Glossolepis incisus, is a stunning freshwater fish species that originates from Indonesia. They are highly sought after by aquarists due to their vibrant coloration and peaceful temperament.
Red Irian Rainbows can grow up to 4 inches in length and require a minimum tank size of 30 gallons. They are active swimmers and appreciate plenty of hiding places, live plants, and open swimming areas. They are also peaceful and can be kept with other non-aggressive species.
These omnivores will eat a variety of foods, including flakes, pellets, and live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp and bloodworms. It's important to provide a balanced diet to ensure they receive all the necessary nutrients for optimal health.
The Red Irian Rainbow's unique characteristic is their bright red coloration with hints of orange and yellow on their fins. They also have a sleek and slender body shape with a forked tail fin.
