Chilatherina bleheri is a bold-coloured rainbowfish from Indonesia. Males develop a red to orange tail section and a gleaming green head, with females staying a more uniform green colour. Like most rainbowfish they are active and peaceful members of mid- to large-sized community tanks, and are best kept in groups of 3-5+. The larger the school, the more intriguing and natural behaviour you will see as they establish their hierarchy of dominance.
