Yes, size was also a consideration for choosing those two. I like giving fish ample space
I live in Oslo (Norway in case you missed it). And the standard selection of rainbows is pretty poor.
However, One guy working at the LFS has been a long time member of a rainbow club, and he has some contacts. He showed me pictures of some fantastic rainbows. Those were very rarely for sale in Europe though.
If you have some suggestions/names of nice obtainable rainbows within my size range, I could check if he can get hold of them
Thanks in any case!
I just had a thought, rainbow fish do jump, not every day, but in open top you are likely to lose some at some point.
Europe has a good Rainbowfish network, but its more in the Germany-Nederlands-Belgium triangle. The UK has improved tremendously in the last few years with access to stock from the Europe based IRG.
Still, yes outside half a dozen commonly stocked varieties, obtaining other species in the average LFS is not readily available, but occasional.
IRG Belgium is a good resource: http://regenboogvissen.be/
