    CELEBES RAINBOWFISH
    Also: Telmatherina ladigesi

    Origins:Indonesia, where it occurs on the island of Sulawesi (formerly known as Celebes).
    Size:3 in.
    Diet:Eats both prepared diets and small livefoods.
    Water:Temperature 68-82F; hard (150-200 mg/l) and neutral to alkaline (pH 7.0-7.5)
    Temperament:Peaceful.

    Male Celebes Rainbowfish are more colorful than females and have longer fin rays. These fish are sensitive to water quality, so it is vital to check the parameters to which they are acclimatized. Change conditions slowly, by making a partial water change of 25 percent of the tank's volume each week. Under favorable conditions, adults may spawn almost nonstop for months, although they often eat their eggs. Hatching takes up to 11 days.
