Please note that the photos of animals and plants may not accurately represent our current stock and could include past orders or stock images. Some images may showcase more mature specimens, as certain species do not display their full colors or patterns until maturity. While we strive to accommodate requests for additional photos, we cannot guarantee their availability. Thank you for your understanding!
Description
Please Note: The images shown are typical examples of mature adult fish and not necessarily the exact fish in our current stock. Actual fish coloration can vary due to lineage, location, age, and gender. If you would like photos of the fish currently available, you may request them. Please understand that we may not always be able to provide these promptly due to time constraints, and photographing some fish can be challenging.

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.
