B7gwap Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 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!

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.

I’m wondering if the mystery rainbows (1&2) are just Australians with unique colors, or maybe even hybrids. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
