Hello Liz,
Welcome to the rainbowfish hobby!
Re. food: I feed my rainbows (and all the other fish, for that matter), with a 50/50 diet, i.e. half vegetarian. I think it enhances colours, and avoids them getting too fat and unhealthy. Try spirulina flakes. If you don't want to use flakes, try to give them duckweed or zucchini. They should love it.
Cheers,
Christophe

Hi All,
I'm new to the list and new to Rainbows. My name is Liz and I'm in the US.
My tank is still cycling, and I have been doing a bit of research on
Rainbows while getting ready to house them.
I've read just about everything I can find online and from ANGFA. There is
one topic about which I've found conflicting information: food. I have
read statements that Rainbows are healthiest and live longest when fed a
high veggie/low fat/low protein diet. I have also read several recipes for
frozen foods that are high protein/low fat/low veggie. I'd like to know
what you feed your fish and what you would consider an optimum diet.
Thanks,
Liz
