About the Lobo Rainbowfish

Name: Melanotaenia sp. Lobo

Max Size: Up to 3 inches

Water Parameters: pH 7.0-8.0, temperature 74-82ยฐF, hardness 5-15 dGH

Diet: Omnivorous โ€“ thrives on a varied diet including high quality flakes, small pellets, and live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, daphnia, and bloodworms. Occasional vegetable-based foods like spirulina flakes can be beneficial.

Temperament: Peaceful and shoaling, best kept in groups of at least 6 individuals. They coexist well with other peaceful community species of similar size.

Tank Setup: Provide a well planted aquarium with both open swimming space and areas of dense vegetation. Ensure good filtration and regular water changes to maintain stable water quality. A dark substrate can help enhance their natural coloration.

Compatibility: Suitable with other peaceful fish such as small tetras, rasboras, and corydoras catfish. Avoid larger, aggressive species that may stress or harm them.

Behavior: Active and social, Melanotaenia sp. Lobo display their best colors and most natural behaviors when kept in groups. Males often show more vibrant hues, especially when interacting with each other or courting females.

Fun Fact: Melanotaenia sp. Lobo is a less commonly encountered rainbowfish variant, appreciated by dedicated hobbyists for its unique coloration and rarity. Their introduction to the hobby has given aquarists the opportunity to observe another fascinating, regionally distinct member of the Melanotaenia genus.

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) Iโ€™ve 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.

Wonderful shop with lots of variety. Has the most unique selection of fish on the island, and at a reasonable price! Staff is friendly and very helpful when we have questions or concerns. Love coming here and seeing the jokes around the store. Also, Vinnie!

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.
