Lake Tebera Yellow Rainbowfish

A vibrant schooling rainbowfish with brilliant yellow colour and constant open-water activity

The Lake Tebera Yellow Rainbowfish is a striking freshwater rainbowfish known for its bright yellow to golden body colour, contrasting darker lateral line, and lively swimming behaviour. Mature males can develop especially intense colouration, making a well-sized group an impressive feature in larger planted or open swimming aquariums.

Active and social, Lake Tebera Yellow Rainbowfish should be kept in groups where they can display naturally and feel secure. They appreciate clean, well-oxygenated water, strong filtration, and plenty of open swimming space, with plants and hardscape around the edges of the aquarium. Their peaceful nature makes them well suited to larger community setups with similarly active species.
