The Luminatus Rainbowfish (Melanotaenia luminatus) is a stunning species known for its vibrant colours and peaceful nature. Native to the freshwaters of Papua New Guinea, this beautiful rainbowfish is often sought after for its striking appearance, featuring a bright iridescent body with vibrant yellow, red, and blue hues. A great addition to a community tank, the Luminatus Rainbowfish thrives in well-maintained aquariums with calm, clean water. Here’s a care guide to help your Luminatus Rainbowfish flourish:

Tank Setup:

  • Tank Size: A minimum of 20 gallons (75 litres) for a small group, though larger tanks are preferred to give them ample swimming space.
  • Water Parameters:
    • Temperature: 23-27°C – Luminatus Rainbowfish prefer warm water.
    • pH: Slightly acidic to neutral (6.0-7.5).
    • Hardness: Soft to moderate (2-12 dGH).

Diet:

  • Luminatus Rainbowfish are omnivores and require a varied diet to stay healthy.
  • Staple Food: High-quality flake or pellet food.
  • Treats: Live or frozen foods like brine shrimp, daphnia, and bloodworms.
  • Vegetation: Supplement their diet with blanched vegetables such as zucchini or spinach.

Behavior & Tankmates:

  • Luminatus Rainbowfish are peaceful, active swimmers that do well in community tanks.
  • Tankmates: They thrive with other peaceful species like tetras, rasboras, and small peaceful cichlids. Avoid aggressive species or large fish that may stress or intimidate them.
  • Schooling: These fish are schooling fish, so it’s best to keep them in groups of 6 or more to help them feel secure and display natural behavior.
