Red Rainbow (Glossolepis incisus)
Red Rainbow (Glossolepis incisus) are just exquisite fish. There is no other way to discribe them. As they grow older the colour starts developing into a bright shiny red. Females are not as bright as the males, but still carry some red colour. You can feed them Hikari Micro Wafers, Hikari Vibra Bites or Dennerle Complete Gourmet Menu.
*Please note: For the safety of the livestock, we only ship livestock Monday – Wednesday. Please plan accordingly. We mainly sell juvenile livestock, but adults will be sent if available. We also do not sex livestock for any client, we will send a mix if available (this is to make it fair for everybody). This is company policy. PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY RECEIVING ONLY MALES OR ONLY FEMALES OR JUVENILE FISH.
