Rainbow Shiner (Tank-Bred)

To protect our animals and to ensure they get to our customers healthy, we will only ship orders with Nano Fish via UPS Next Day Air.

The Rainbow Shiner (Notropsis chrosomus) boasts striking colors and an active nature that adds life and vibrancy to any aquarium. With its unique appearance and energetic behavior, the Rainbow Shiner is sure to be a captivating addition to your aquarium.

We recommend keeping these guys in groups of 5 or more for them to feel safe in a large school. They will look especially stunning in a planted tank.

Rainbow Shiners are pretty easy to care as long as they are introduced to a mature, cycled tank. They can acclimate to a wide range of parameters.  The following are our water parameters we keep them at:

Our Tank Water Parameters

GH: 7 to 8
KH: 3 to 4
TDS: 180 to 250

We feed them a mix of live baby brine shrimp, frozen daphnia and high-quality flake food.
