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.

Description:

Melanotaenia ajamaruensis is a rainbowfish from Papua New Guinea, known for its similarity to the popular (and quite closely related) Boeseman’s rainbowfish. These beautiful schooling fish have a similar bicolour pattern to the Boeseman’s rainbow but are distinctly more orange than yellow, and have better developed lateral striping.
