Blue Neon Rainbowfish in the Singapore Aquarium
The Blue Neon Rainbowfish, often known as the Praecox rainbow, is a small, peaceful rainbowfish whose pale body lights up with electric blue under good lighting and a darker background. It is far more compact than the larger Boesemani type, which makes it a strong choice for the medium community tanks common in HDB and condo homes. A group of these active swimmers fills the open midwater with constant, eye-catching shimmer.
Rainbowfish are hardy and adapt well to our local conditions, handling the warm 27-29C ambient comfortably so a heater is rarely needed. They show their best colour in a mature, well-lit planted tank with open swimming room down the middle. Keep them in a shoal of six or more, as colour and confidence improve dramatically in numbers, and feed a varied diet to bring out that signature blue sheen over time.
Settle new arrivals gradually following our acclimation guide, and read the detailed profile in our Praecox rainbowfish care guide. Explore the family under rainbowfish.
