Eastern rainbowfish

The Eastern rainbowfish, known for its vibrant coloration reflecting hues of the rainbow, originates from Eastern Australia, including rivers and streams. This species boasts a sleek, elongated body adorned with shimmering scales that display a spectrum of colors, especially prominent in males. While its striking appearance makes it a desirable species, it's not as widely known or common in the aquarium hobby as its relative, the Boesemani rainbowfish, but its dazzling colors and peaceful nature make it a cherished addition to those who keep it.
