Not required. The best way to prevent disease is to quarantine new fish and maintain good water quality.
If you go to the Glenrothes auction this Sunday I’ll be selling lots. If not you can have some anytime you’re down near Perth.
Evolution has crafted a beautiful and rare creature for us to admire. No alteration by man could improve on it.

They must take up a whole lotta tank space eh. Did ya breed and raise those?
They are a very prolific species. I have two 4ft tanks full of young praecox although some will be gone soon.
There are some here (with young platys & galaxys)
The adult male
I currently have several hundred praecox and none show the combination of body profile and caudal fin colour that yours does. There are however several slightly different populations of praecox so perhaps your fish is from one I’m not familiar with. Certainly take the opinion of the specialist rainbowfish keepers over mine.
My experience of rainbowfish is limited to the common species so I’m afraid I have no idea what your other fish is.Rainbowfish almost certainly. Praecox will breed all the time and hang their eggs on floating plants. The fry are very dark.
I’m growing out my latest batch with young Melanoteania praecox and some Corydoras rabauti and Brochis splendens.
