This colour morph of the Australis is from south Alligator River in the Northern Territory. Although they will survive in ponds during winter at temperatures below 15C, they much prefer to be kept at about 25C.
Keeping and caring for rainbowfishes in captivity is reasonably simple as far as general aquarium conditions are concerned. They are one of the easiest fishes to maintain in captivity. They also possess all the attributes we look for in aquarium fishes. Ease of breeding, hardy, beautiful colours, peaceful disposition and they won't destroy your plants or move the gravel around in your aquarium. They come in a variety of sizes to suit almost any community aquarium.
Rainbowfishes have very similar breeding habits, their food requirements are similar, and water that suits one particular species will suit all. All are of good-natured temperament and will live harmoniously, more or less, with one another.

Great fish Review by Rainbownut
Customer Rating I bought 6 of these and was happily surprised when they arrived in great condition .They began feeding within 20 minutes of hitting the tank and the males started displaying 10 minutes later. Like all rainbows the colours will take a little time to be at their best, but they are already showing lovely red tails. (Posted on 11/11/11)

australis Review by Chriss
Customer Rating Very healthy fish as always, this one was quite a large specimen. It does tend to chase the smaller rainbows around. (Posted on 13/06/11)
