About Rainbow fish

The Rainbow fish is a members-only item in Old School RuneScape.

"Well, this would certainly add some colour to a meal"

Over the last 30 days it traded between 73 and 234 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 156 gp. About 18,621 units changed hands per day. The price is down 6.2% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 6,000 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 3 gp in Grand Exchange tax.

Casting High Level Alchemy returns 72 gp, which is 53.8% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
