Description: DESCRIPTION OF ITEM: The Red Dragon Rainbow Fish, scientifically known as *Melanotaenia lacustris*, is a vibrant and visually striking species of freshwater fish native to Papua New Guinea. It is part of the rainbowfish family and is highly sought after by aquarists for its dazzling colors and peaceful nature. Characteristics: - **Appearance**: The Red Dragon Rainbow Fish displays a stunning coloration, featuring bright red or orange bodies with iridescent blue and green highlights. The fins may also exhibit a range of vivid colors, making these fish very attractive in aquariums. - **Size**: They typically grow to about 3 to 4 inches (7.5 to 10 cm) in length, depending on the specific strain and environmental conditions. - **Temperament**: These fish are generally peaceful and social, making them suitable for community tanks. They do well in groups and should ideally be kept in schools of at least six to eight individuals to promote a natural behavior and minimize stress. - **Care**: Red Dragon Rainbow Fish require well-oxygenated and clean water. Recommended water conditions include a temperature range of 72-78°F (22-26°C) and a pH level between 6.5 to 7.5. - **Diet**: They are omnivorous and thrive on a varied diet that includes high-quality flake foods, pellets, frozen or live foods like brine shrimp and daphnia, and plant matter. Breeding: Breeding Red Dragon Rainbow Fish is possible in captivity, and they are egg scatterers. When breeding, it’s best to provide a separate breeding tank with spawning mops or fine-leaved plants where the females can lay their eggs. After spawning, parents should be removed to prevent them from eating the eggs. Aquarium Setup: In terms of tank setup, a well-planted aquarium with open swimming areas is ideal for Red Dragon Rainbow Fish. Providing floating plants can also diffuse light and create a more natural-looking environment. Overall, the Red Dragon Rainbow Fish is an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists who appreciate colorful and active fish that enhance the beauty of community aquariums.
