Kamaka Rainbowfish

General Background

The Kamaka Rainbowfish is a medium-sized, bright, blue-colored fish native to Indonesia. This popular fish species grows to around five and a half inches in length in captivity, with males being slightly larger than their female counterparts. Males of the species also display more bright coloring than females. They are a peaceful, mid-level water species.

For aquarists, the Kamaka Rainbowfish is a sought-after specimen popular for most freshwater tropical tanks. These fish make an excellent addition to these environments due to their docile nature and beautiful colors. Additionally, this species prefers a warmer temperature between seventy-five and eighty-two degrees Fahrenheit, which is closest to their natural habitat.

 

Tankmates

The Kamaka Rainbowfish is a naturally timid and docile fish species. Due to this behavior pattern and their medium size for tropical freshwater fish, this species does not encounter violence or territorial hostility when in a tank with other fish species. This attribute especially benefits aquarium professionals and hobbyists who enjoy their beautiful colors.

While the Kamaka Rainbowfish is a peaceful species, it is best to avoid finding more aggressive tankmates in nature. With the slightly larger Kamaka Rainbowfish, some more territorial species may find them intimidating and choose to lash out at them. For this reason, it is best to keep them with more docile and smaller tropical freshwater species.

Feed

The Kamaka Rainbowfish is an omnivorous species in its natural habitat, dining on a variety of living and plant matter. Therefore, to produce the best results for their general health and well-being while in captivity, it is crucial to mimic this diet as closely as possible. Doing so will ensure that your Kamaka Rainbowfish is happy, healthy, and displaying its bright color.

Due to their size, experts recommend a balance of processed fish food and live food. This translates to fish pellets, combined with blood worms, brine shrimp, and spirulina flakes. While this species is peaceful, they are not shy and will swim to the surface to retrieve their meals. This makes their feeding easier than other freshwater tropical fish.

FAQ

Can you keep Kamaka Rainbowfish with other rainbowfish?

Due to the peaceful nature of the Kamaka Rainbowfish, they do fine and get along well with other rainbowfish.

Are Kamaka Rainbowfish schooling fish?

Yes, they are! This is an often-overlooked facet of the species, which is why experts recommend keeping six to eight in a single tank if possible.

FAQ

"The fish I received do not look like the fish in thepicture. Why is this?"

-         We typically take photographs of one or two fish when we initially get them in. Since we have a large quantity of most of the various species of fish, it would be understandably impossible to provide a picture ofevery individual fish with a specific species. For some of our more rare orlarger fish, the picture listed may be the actual fish that you are receiving.If this is the case, it will be designated by ?WYSIWYG?, meaning ?what you see,is what you get?.

"What happens if my fish arrive dead?"

-         While this is a rare occurrence, it can and willhappen from time to time. Fish are live animals and we cannot ensure that everyone will arrive alive or remain alive. We do ask that if your fisharrives dead (DOA), submit a picture of the deceased fish that is in the bag.We will work quickly with you to resolve the problem. We will offer replacement fish for any losses, but do not offer refunds at this time. We will reship any replacement fish at the buyer's expense. If you put the fish in your tank and it dies or is not acting properly, please contact us,  with pictures, within 24 hours. We will again, do everything in our power to resolvethe issue and ensure that you have a great experience with these fish.

"What if I'm not home when the fish arrive?"

-         We will always provide you with a tracking number. While the fish are packaged to survive about 72+ hours within the shipping containers, we do ask that you make arrangements to arrive home to inspect your fish as soon as possible after they are delivered to your home. Itis always suggested to provide an area for the delivery person to place the boxthat is out of direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.

"What do I do with my fish once I've unpacked them?"

-         Like you would with any new fish, let the entire bag float in your tank for 15-30 minutes. This allows the temperature withinthe bag to adjust to the same as your tank and will reduce temperature shock onthe fish. After this time, you can add all of the fish and water that is in thebag into your tank. The products used within the water for shipping will notharm any existing fish within your tank and actually makes the transition foryour new fish a bit easier. After this, expect your new fish to take a few daysto become fully adjusted, this includes hiding, floating at the top, sinking tothe bottom, and not eating. After a few days, your new fish should be acting aswimming like they normally would. At this point, enjoy your aquarium!

"I want to return my new fish because x,y,z?"

-         Unfortunately, we are unable to accept returns.We do recommend contacting us via email with yourorder number and as much information as possible. We will try to assist you inresolving whatever the issue may be.
