Slender Rainbow

SLENDER RAINBOW 

The Slender Rainbowfish was described by Allen in 1978 and its scientific name is Melanotaenia gracilis. The species was collected in 1975 by Hutchins, Curator of Fishes at the Western Australian Museum. Compared to most other Rainbowfish species, the adult male Slender Rainbowfish is noticeably slender and that is why its called “Slender Rainbowfish”. This fish is still comparatively unusual in the aquarium trade, especially outside Australia.
