Rainbow starting with Bosemani .

Yeah, but every single rainbow fish I've seen at Petsmart has really mild
coloration. I guess they get them from breeders that don't have really good
stock. It's best to get rainbows either from reputable breeders or wild-caught.

I haven't seen rainbow fish at Petsmart. (And I've been looking
regularly!) I'm curious whether you (or anyone else) has purchased one
of these colorless fish and taken it home, and whether its color then
improved.


The only fish I've ever purchased there were feeder goldfish to cycle the
pond outdoors.

DID charge $20 per... now they are more like $15 but they DO have some nicer
specimens...
