Several books that I have read over the years have all left me with a bad taste in my mouth about Rainbowfish. They all describe them as a fish that should be in a one species tank. Why is this? Every time I've seen any in a fish store they are with other species of fish and seem to be fine. Some of them are absolutely beautiful and am thinking about purchasing one for awhile but I am not sure how they would get along with the Barbs/Tetras I am planning on buying. What are your takes/experiences with these fish? Are they good community fish?
