Hi everyone. 
 

today at my LFS I bought two medium small size Rainbowfish, the store said they had been shipped in with Diamond tetras and had no idea what they were. What do you guys think?

I also posted some pictures of my other bows for fun in case anyone wants to play an identification game. 🙂

 

 

cheers!

Austin

(1) ?? Not sure ?? Melanotaenia fluviatilis Could be!

(2) ?? No idea ?? 1&2 are the mystery fishies  

(3) ?? Not sure ?? Melanotaenia trifasciata Ironically this was sold to me as an Aussie! 🙂 (M. fluviatilis)

(4) Melanotaenia caerulea M. lacustris

(5) Melanotaenia praecox Yup!

(6) ?? Not sure ?? Melanotaenia trifasciata 

Last one is tricky since it’s adolescent/juvenile Glosolepis Incisus

 

I didn’t know about the caerulea, looks like a neat fish.

Turquoise rainbow fish is 4th pic   Neon blue rainbow 5th pic not sure about the others 

Right on. I’m wondering if the mystery rainbows (1&2) are just Australians with unique colors, or maybe even hybrids.
