[Ebook] The New Guide to Aquarium Fish – Miscellaneous Freshwater Fishes – Rainbowfishes
Rainbow fishes have been known in the aquarium trade for many years but until recently only a few species have been commonly available. Of these only Telmatherina ladigesi (Celebes rainbowfish), Bedotia geayi (Madagascar rainbowfish), and Melanotaenia splendida (Eastern rainbowfish) have made any real impression. The last species is often referred to as Melanotaenia nigrans but the latter was probably not in the hobby until the end of the 1970s.
