Boesmani Rainbowfish

Contrary to most Rainbowfish species, male Boesemani Rainbows (Melanotaenia boesemani) exhibit a different color pattern in the front half and back half of their body when mature. There are several collection points for Boesemani Rainbows, with Lake Ajamaru being the most common. If we know the collection point, we will list them as a separate product on our website. Male Boesemani display the blue and orange coloration as seen in the photos. Female Boesemani are less colorful and display a yellowish/green coloration. However, males typically won't achieve full coloration without several females to entertain, so we highly recommend buying these fish in pairs or breeder packs.
