Bleher's Rainbowfish will readily breed in the home aquarium when two fish of the opposite sex are kept together. The fry require the typical high care level of most fish fry, including regular feedings of [[infusoria]] or [[vinegar eels]] until they have grown large enough to eat prepared foods. | Bleher's Rainbowfish will readily breed in the home aquarium when two fish of the opposite sex are kept together.
