Rainbows are extremely colorful fishes native to Australia, New Guinea, and Madagascar. Rainbows are schooling fish, and should be kept in groups of six or more. Rainbows are easily cared for, active, and make good first fish for those who want to try something a little less common. Look in your dealer´s tanks for the Australian Rainbow - Melanotaenia splendida, Boeseman´s Rainbowfish - M. boesemani, Turquoise Rainbows - M. lacustris, and the Celebes Rainbow - Telmatherina ladigesi
