Hey guys. As most of u know, I just got my Del. He is 4 inches, and I was wondering if I can add a school of Rainbows. If so, what type?

How big of a tank. I wouldn’t do it, a full grown del can easily make a meal out of most rainbow fish species. If you do I would say Australians are the best bet because they are fast and cheap.

I definitely wouldn't add any slim shaped Australian Rainbowfish although they are fast like stated they could be stalked by the Delhezi after lights off while resting.

+1. Fully grown full bodies adults rainbows could work.

Any ideas on Parkinsoni Rainbowfish

Edit: Doryiti Rainbowfish look cool ?. I would like to order the Rainbows today. The Bichir already grew 1/4 of an inch
