Welcome to the forum.....

Adult Male:




Adult Female:



Mature males are larger and exhibit brighter colouration than females. They also develop a much deeper body than females as they grow..... so it looks like a boy to me.

Hi. I have 3 in my tank with various tetra and barbs. They do have their moments chasing other fish.  They seem worse if they are kept at the top end of their temperature range. Knock off about a degree and half and they seem to have settled. One caution is check temps required for the other fish. Rainbows do have a wide range that can be kept in, but mine seem to get problems with mouth fungus if kept too cool.  Just some thoughts..
