The Malenotaenia Bosemani - Bosemani Rainbow (1.5") is a spectacular centerpiece for the modern freshwater aquarium, known for its brilliant coloration and sophisticated social behavior. Characterized by a striking bi-color body—transitioning from a deep metallic blue-purple on the anterior to a vibrant sunrise orange on the posterior—this 1.5" variant is a masterclass in aquatic aesthetics. In the "Answering Machine" era of specialized rainbowfish husbandry, the Bosemani Rainbow is highly prized for its athletic profile and its ability to add high-velocity color to larger planted systems.
Unlike many stationary community fish, Bosemani Rainbows are powerful, active swimmers that thrive in a high-oxygen environment. This 1.5" juvenile specimen will continue to develop its iconic high-contrast split coloration as it matures, eventually becoming the focal point of any well-balanced community tank.

Care Level: Easy to Moderate
Temperament: Peaceful
Variant Size: 1.5"
Minimum Tank Size: 30 Gallons

Reef Compatible: N/A (Freshwater)
Max Size: 4 Inches
Temperature: 72° to 80°F
dKH: 10 to 20
pH: 7.0 to 8.0
The 1.5" Bosemani Rainbow is an ideal candidate for a larger community planted tank. While they are highly adaptable, they require a long tank with plenty of open swimming space to accommodate their active nature. They are high-metabolism fish and should be fed a varied diet of high-quality flakes, micro-pellets, and frozen meaty foods—such as mysis and vitamin-enriched brine shrimp—at least twice daily. Because they are schooling fish, keeping them in groups of six or more is mandatory to ensure they display their most vibrant colors and natural social hierarchies.
We’ve dialed in the logistics for national Overnight Delivery to ensure your livestock arrives in peak condition. Every order is packed using professional-grade insulation and climate-contingent heat or ice packs, designed to maintain stable temperatures throughout the journey. We handle the technical side of the move so you can focus on the acclimation. Our protocol is built on getting these fish from the facility to your tank with zero compromise on health or vitality.
