A spectacular, iridescent, neon blueAustralian and New Guinea Rainbowfish are members of the family Melanotaeniidae and are one of the more important Family groups in Australian waters.The taxonomy of the group is somewhat confused and fish from different river systems often have different colours. To help with identification, they are distinguished by including the source in the name e.g. Goyder River. Larger adult sized fish generally have better colours than juveniles and display well in planted tanks.

Feeding
Rainbows will feed on a wide range of artificial and frozen foods. They readily accept most standard aquarium fare like TetraMinR Tropical Flakes, and live foods like brine shrimp and ants. Longevity Given the right conditions, some Rainbowfish can survive for 6 years or more in captivity. Breeding These fish are easy to breed but aquarium owners should not keep spare males of one species with females of another species as they can interbreed readily. Rainbow fish are great for planted tanks and a good community fish. Left: Boesemani Rainbow Above: Goyder River Rainbow Below: Murray River Rainbow Australian and New Guinea Rainbowfish
