Iriatherina werneri by Peter M4 on Flickr.

Iriatherina werneri, or threadfin rainbowfish, are one of the few species of rainbowfish that can be kept in smaller (15+ gal) tanks. Threadfins enjoy plenty of plants in the tank, but try to keep the vegetation limited to the sides because they also love to swim! In the right tank, males will display sparring behaviour and try to indimidate each other, but luckily they rarely get hurt. If you're looking for that wow-factor in your planted aquarium, this could definitely be the fish you're looking for! A group of at least 6 is preferred, although the bigger the group the more natural the fish will behave. Tankmates should always be calm - you don't want to find your male rainbowfish fish with their fins chewed off one day!
