Despite their bulk their throats are narrow, so small tank mates are safe. They will not thrive in soft, acidic water. Egg scatterers, they spawn over weeks among plants or mops with eggs hatching in about a week. Given space, a mature shoal is spectacular.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SimsTF","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64680665088377,"sku":"STF-RAINBOW-RED-5","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1026\/3124\/4153\/files\/STF-RAINBOW-RED-5.png?v=1790096849","url":"https:\/\/birchwoodaquatics.myshopify.com\/products\/red-rainbow-fish-glossolepis-incisus-5cm","provider":"Birchwood Aquatic Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
