I also picked up a group of 4 melanotaenia maccullochi yesterday, I went back to the shop this morning and picked up another 8

[Barracuda518]

That's a very nice fish. First time I have seen them. Nice pick up

Thanks, they are spawning already, hopefully I will get some eggs out and into a smaller tank and raise a few youngsters. Madagascan rainbows will be next

Interestingly there are quite a lot of Madagas
can Rainbows ,but there's only two seen in the hobby B.gaeyi and another similar looking fish who's name escapes me

[Matt]

I've seen B. leucopteron and B. marojejy swimming in a friend's tank Andy. Either of them the name you're after?

[Mad Duff]

The two most commonly seen species used to be Bedotia geayi and Bedotia tricolor, as I understand it now B. tricolor and B. longianalis are now classed as Bedotia geayi.

Occasionally Bedotia madagascariensis showed up as contaminants but very very rarely but this fish is now probably the most common fish and seems to be the fish commonly thought of as B. geayi

I would love to have Bedotia marojejy and Bedotia sp. “Lazana”, my idea is to set up another tank and have ideally 3 species in separate tanks
