The Crimson Spotted Rainbow was the first Australian fish to be kept by overseas fish hobbyists and is still popular today. This species tolerates cooler temperatures than most Rainbows, and is useful for mosquito control in garden ponds where water temperatures are usually at least 15C. Hardy and easy to care for.
