I just picked up 4 sweet praecox rainbow fish from my favorite LFS! :wub: The store is moving so everything is on sale. These were only $2.50 each.

Will they be fine in a group of four? (They were the last four in the store.) They seem a little skittish -- unlike my Boesmani rainbows who rush over to the front of the tank whenever I approach! Maybe they would be more comfortable in a larger group?
 
i have 4, they've been fine for 8 months or so in a 40G community tank with boesmani's, angels, danio's etc... nice fish, they should get along fine.
 
They're a very nice fish and may just be getting adjusted to things. Once they get older, they will greet you once you walk in the room with the tank in it. I try to hide from them so i can observe them without them rushing to the top to the surface.
 
4 is not a bad number for rainbows. I would also tend to suspect they are getting settled.
 
Thanks for the replies! I noticed this evening they are much more active and will eat out in the open now. I love to watch them feed! They have that quick, aggressive way with their food just like the bigger rainbows.
