It seems that every time I suggest to someone in
our aquaria forums (AquariaCentral.com) that they
look at rainbow fish, a member will post a
message stating that rainbows are brackish.
Doesn't seem to matter *which* rainbow I suggest,
they are all "brackish". The other day someone
tried to tell us that the entire Pseudomugilnae sub-family were brackish.
I've done some quick searching and produced
Melanotaenia nigrans -- that listing only said
that salt was optional -- and Telmatherina
ladigesi of the Pseudomugilnae needed salt.
So, my two questions are
1. Are there any *true* brackish rainbows? Is
Telmatherina ladigesi a true brackish fish?
2. Does anyone have a list of the "salt recommended" rainbows?
Much thanks,
Eileen Kortright
