Yellow Rainbow (Melanotaenia herbertaxelrodi)

The Yellow Rainbow (Melanotaenia herbertaxelrodi), also known as the Lake Tebera Rainbow, is native only to one lake in the central highlands of Papua New Guinea and is now bred in captivity. A peaceful, loosely schooling species, this rainbow is ideal for most medium-sized community aquariums and is especially popular for planted tanks. For the best behavior and color, we recommend keeping these fish in groups of at least 5 or more. Be aware that these fish are sensitive to water quality, so be sure to keep up with regular tank maintenance and water changes.
