Goyder River Rainbowfish - 2-3" Unsexed. Remarks: Goyder River Rainbows ( Melanotaenia trifasciata ) come from the Northern Territory of Australia. Goyder River Rainbows have red fins with a blue stripe, while other variants of M. trifasciata have different color patterns. These fish are omnivorous and should be fed a quality flake food with supplemental proteins such as baby brine shrimp. They require clean water but tolerate a wide variety of water parameters. By providing frequent water changes, you will be rewarded with nearly continuous spawning attempts. Melanotaenia species deposit eggs in weedy areas (often mimicked by a yarn mop) and the eggs hatch 7-10 days later. Eggs can be harvested for hatching in separate tanks to avoid predation. Most Rainbows show their best colors at sunrise, when the males display their bright. Source: Imperial Tropicals live fish catalogue.
