It can’t be denied that these mesmerising aquatic critters can capture just about anyone’s attention thanks to their rainbow coloured scales.

50 Shades Of Rainbow

Whether you’re a lifetime lover of fish or looking to get a new pet for the family, the Rainbowfish is a beautiful addition to any household.

The Rainbowfish is family to small, colourful, freshwater fishes, which are native to northern and eastern Australia, New Guinea and parts of Southeast Asia. There are more than 70 species of the Rainbowfish grouped into several different families, but the largest of Rainbowfish genus, Melanotaenia, derives from the ancient Greek melano (black) and taenia (banded); when translated, this means “black banded” — a reference to the often striking lateral black bands that run along the bodies of those in the Melanotaenia genus.

The Rainbowfish got their name from their looks, which consist of bright, iridescent colourations that change shades in different light settings. Recently, it seems that this species has gained popularity amongst aquarists for both their beauty and relatively mild nature. In general, the Rainbowfish are very peaceful and make excellent additions to existing aquarium communities.
