Care

Bleher's Rainbowfish are known from Lake Holmes (Danau Bira), a complex of three interconnected, relatively shallow, freshwater lakes lying within a radius of 6-7km and which form part of the Mamberamo basin in Irian Jaya. These fish have been found in the vegetated shorelines and rocky feeder streams of the lake, which is situated some 430m above sea level in the foothills of the remote van Rees Mountains. Bleher's Rainbowfish are a peaceful species, ideally suited to community aquaria. These beautiful fish should be maintained in groups of 6 or more due to their shoaling nature. The aquarium should be fairly spacious, as this is an active species. The juveniles of many rainbowfish species can often look a little drab compared to the adults, and as such are sometimes overlooked in the shops. However, the males of this species are actually fairly colourful even as juveniles, and once settled into the security of the planted aquarium, these young specimens will begin to colour up furthermore, revealing their stunning adult beauty. Bleher's Rainbowfish will not bother smaller tankmates, as their mouth/throat is too narrow to be able to swallow them. This species is occasionally seen in the shops, and is well worth looking out for on account of its peacefulness, beauty, and ease of maintenance. Unfortunately, C. bleheri is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN red list, largely due to the introduction of predatory carp and tilapia into their native habitat. The vast majority of the fish seen in the trade will be captive bred (the pictured specimen was bred in the Czech Republic).

Feeding

Flake, green flake, micropellets, and small frozen foods such as mosquito larvae and daphnia.

Breeding

A separate good-sized breeding aquarium should be set up with 75% mature tank water and 25% of dechlorinated fresh water, along with a substrate of marbles. A small air-driven sponge filter (with a mature sponge) should be added to give gentle circulation and filtration. A conditioned pair should then be acclimatised across to the breeding aquarium, which should be furnished with plenty of fine-leaved plants/Java moss clumps. After a time, the male will swim in front of the female, displaying the mating stripe on his forehead. He will then begin to drive the female over the plants, utilising the whole length of the tank. The eggs will be scattered over the plants a few at a time. These fish are known as 'continual spawners' which means that the spawning activity takes place over several days/weeks, even months in some cases. This can present problems to the aquarist in that some adult fish may begin to consume the eggs as they are scattered. Many fishkeepers have found the eggs to be remarkably tough and have had great success in siphoning them out into another aquarium (containing matching water from the spawning tank) or else using spawning mops, which, when having caught a number of the eggs, can be moved to a separate tank (again with matching water) and replaced with a new mop, as and when each series of eggs are deposited. The eggs will usually hatch in 7-9 days (dependent on temperature) and once free-swimming, the tiny fry can be offered infusoria, moving onto larger foodstuffs as they develop.

It fits perfectly on the filter, like it was made just for me, like everything else in my life. You slide it on, you give it a twist, and boom, you're done. It’s like magic – but not really, because magic is for others. This is skill. This is expertise. This is the power of the greatest tool ever made. You won’t find a better oil filter socket wrench. This tool makes you a winner. It’s precision-engineered, like the T-ump Tower of oil filter wrenches – big, strong, and reliable. And the best part? It’ll last forever.

Fits perfectly
Size: 32mm, Color: Green
Works exactly as expected. Fits the 32mm oil filter housing perfectly and makes removal quick without slipping or rounding. Feels solid and well-made for the price. Used it for an oil change and it saved a lot of time compared to a strap wrench. Simple, effective tool—glad I bought it.

Perfect Fit 28mm Fuel Filter Socket
Size: 28mm, Color: Red
I bought the Felisbieti 28mm fuel filter socket for a vehicle maintenance project, and it worked perfectly. The fit is precise, gripping the fuel filter securely without slipping or rounding edges. The build feels sturdy and durable, with a solid metal finish that stands up to repeated use. It fits snugly on my ratchet and made removing and installing the filter much easier and faster than using adjustable tools. The only minor thing to note is that it’s specific to 28mm filters, so make sure it matches your vehicle. Overall, this socket is well-made, reliable, and a must-have for anyone doing DIY fuel filter work.

Perfect socket for the job
Size: 24mm, Color: Green, Size: 24mm, Color: Green
I purchased this 24mm socket specificaly to remove the oil filter housing on my Ram Promaster 2500 truck. Since there is limited space to get a standard socket in this area, this low profile socket was able to do the job without requiring me to loosen and push aside other components. I like that this socket is light weight, made of aluminum with large easy to read size eched into the body. the oil filter housing is made of plastic and does not require a beefy heavy steel socket. The walls on this socket are plenty thick as to cause me no concern about durability. To me, the green color is a nice touch as will be easy to spot in my socket set for the oil changes.
