🐟 Red Rainbowfish (Glossolepis incisus)
A Deep, Blood-Red High-Backed Body • The Reddest of All Rainbowfish • A Bold Showpiece Shoal From Lake Sentani
 
📋 The Red Rainbowfish, also known as the Salmon Red Rainbowfish or New Guinea Red Rainbowfish, carries a tall, high-backed body that glows a deep, rich blood-red in mature males, shimmering with silver scales as it turns. Females are a soft olive-gold, making a mixed shoal a striking contrast of colour.
It comes from Lake Sentani in Papua, Indonesia. Every Red Rainbowfish we ship is feeding well.
This is an active, peaceful shoaling fish that sweeps through the middle and upper levels of the tank, and it looks its best in a group of six or more. Males deepen to their richest red as they mature and display to one another, making a bold centrepiece for a large planted tank. It grows up to 15cm, so a 180L tank suits it well.
