The red rainbowfish or salmon-red rainbowfish (Glossolepis incisus) is endemic to dense vegetation waters of Lake Sentai in Indonesia. The males are bright red and with age grow a high back.

I had four male red rainbows in with a tank of neon tetras, a couple of clown loaches, a plecostomus and some danios. The rainbows ate 10 of my neons in 2 weeks.

I would recommend six 2 inch severeums, 8 red rainbowfish, and an Ancistrus for a nice display. Use a tank planted with Valisneria, duckweed, and riccia. For the plants you'll need very bright lighting...
