The males are normally seen in moderately compressed and elongated bodies covered with iridescent yellow and blue coloration, while the females are typically smaller and have an attractive orange-yellow hue. Their fins are the highlight parts of their appearance as they display the special white silvery-grey or yellow with rounded or oblong dark spots scattered all over.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe beautiful \u003cstrong\u003eGertrude’s Rainbowfish\u003c\/strong\u003e is an outgoing, hardy, and easy-to-care-for species. In wild habitats, they are mostly found in densely floating planted areas with quite low water hardness. Hence, they appreciate home aquariums that share similar conditions. This \u003cstrong\u003eRainbowfish\u003c\/strong\u003e is also known for its inability to cope with various ranges of water parameters; therefore, creating and maintaining a stable living condition is crucial for them to thrive.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGertrude’s Spotted Blue Eye Rainbowfish\u003c\/strong\u003e is a shoaling fish. They are normally kept in \u003cstrong\u003egroups of 8 or more,\u003c\/strong\u003e and in no circumstances should be kept in single. Otherwise, the fish tends to be frightened and get stressed easily. As a completely peaceful species, \u003cstrong\u003eGertrude’s Blue Eye Rainbowfish\u003c\/strong\u003e can be housed with other fish as long as they have comparable size, disposition, and living requirements. Be careful when choosing their tank mates since your \u003cstrong\u003eGertrude’s Rainbow Fish\u003c\/strong\u003e are timid and easily outcompeted for food by more aggressive eaters. Providing a lot of swimming space and hiding places is important if you keep many males in the same tank. It is reported that the dominant males may show harassment behaviors toward the subdominants in certain cases. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSome experienced aquarists tip that your aquarium may look more attractive if \u003cstrong\u003eGertrude fish\u003c\/strong\u003e are kept with dark substrate.
