Water Parameters: pH 7.0-8.0, temperature 74-82ยฐF, hardness 5-15 dGH
Diet: Omnivorous โ prefers a varied diet that includes high quality flakes, small pellets, and occasional live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, daphnia, and bloodworms. Vegetable supplements like spirulina flakes can also be offered.
Temperament: Peaceful and shoaling, best kept in groups of at least 6 individuals. They do well in community settings with other peaceful fish of similar size.
Tank Setup: Provide a well planted aquarium with both open swimming areas and hiding spots. Good water quality is essential, so ensure efficient filtration and regular water changes. A dark substrate and background can help intensify their natural coloration.
Compatibility: Suitable with other peaceful community species like small tetras, rasboras, or corydoras catfish. Avoid overly aggressive or large predatory fish that may cause stress or view them as prey.
Behavior: Active and social, Bowmani Rainbowfish display their best coloration and behavior when kept in groups. Males may show more intense hues when interacting with each other or during courtship displays.
Fun Fact: Melanotaenia bowmani is one of the lesser known rainbowfish species, appreciated by dedicated enthusiasts for its subtle yet attractive coloration and adaptability. Their rarity in the hobby makes them a prized addition for collectors seeking unique rainbowfish species.
Perhaps the best store on island to get freshwater fish. They have a huge variety, including higher end freshwater fish (discus, puffers, flowerhorns , oddballs, ect) Iโve stocked a few tanks with their fish. They quarantine well and keep it real on how their fish are doing in shop.

Had a great experience here. I was looking for a unicorn/alicorn betta and spoke with the owner, Josh, about it. I ended up using his fish importing services to import a fish from Jakarta, and he brought in a few more white opaque or unicorn type half moon bettas too, to add to the variety in store. I got a sneak peak of the store while it was shut down for one week for a proper quarantine of its new fish. The owner knows his fish and keeps them healthy. A very different experience from a Petco or PetSmart! A Petco employee even recommended I go here for more unique betta fish. Note that they carry other types of fish too, plus Aquatic plants and some aquarium equipment. Pictured are some of the giant bettas, the alicorn betta, and i believe a beautiful ram.

The owner, Josh, is not just knowledgeable about the fish, but also plants and tank issues. I am new to fish tanks and he has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions to make my experience easier. Parking is a bit tricky, but certainly worth it.

They have rare plants you can't find at most places. Got lucky we got a few; my husband is happy. This is one of his favorite places. They get pretty busy, so be patient. The staff are very helpful.
