Melanotaenia boesemani is one of, if not the single most popular rainbowfish in the pet trade. With their metallic-turqoise front halves and bright yellow to orange tails, it's not hard to see why! Females are a uniform metallic green colour but are still beautiful in their own right. Having females around also encourages interesting sparring and display behaviour out of your males.
These are juveniles around 1-1.5" long. Sent to us as a batch of all males, but sexes are not guaranteed.
