Wapoga Red Rainbow Fish (Chilatherina alleni)

Overview

The Wapoga Red Rainbow Fish is a stunning freshwater species known for its brilliant red and orange coloration and streamlined body. Its vibrant colors and active swimming make it an eye-catching centerpiece in community aquariums, especially when kept in schools.

Origin

Native to Wapoga River and surrounding waterways in northern Papua, Indonesia. Prefers clear, slow-flowing freshwater streams with dense vegetation and open swimming spaces.

Feeding

Omnivorous. Thrives on a varied diet including:

  • High-quality flakes and pellets

  • Frozen or live foods such as brine shrimp, daphnia, and bloodworms

  • Occasional vegetable matter to support coloration

Tank Mates

Peaceful schooling fish best kept in groups of 6 or more. Compatible with:

  • Other small, peaceful rainbowfish

  • Tetras, danios, and rasboras

  • Corydoras and other gentle bottom dwellers

Avoid: Aggressive or fin-nipping species that may stress them.

Aggression

Low. Males may display briefly during breeding, but the species is generally peaceful.

Experience Level

Beginner to intermediate. Hardy and adaptable, ideal for tropical community tanks with stable water conditions.

Water Parameters

  • Temperature: 74–82°F (23–28°C)

  • pH: 6.8–7.8

  • Hardness: 5–15 dGH

  • Notes: Provide open swimming areas with planted hiding spots; regular water changes help maintain vibrant coloration.
