Hey guys,
I've updated a couple of the photos above to better show off shape and colour. These new photos are all of my own fish as they appear in my tanks.

I've also got 3 female PARKINSON’S RAINBOWFISH Melanotaenia parkinsoni for $10 each.
All 3 are from different stock, and are proven breeders. I do not have a male any more, and have decided to discontinue keeping this species as I'm concentrating on the much smaller blue-eyes.
The largest femal got caught behind a rock the other day, and as a result has a cloudy eye, though she is otherwise very healthy!
The male looks like this:

My girls look like this:

They are fully grown at about 13cm, but are very peaceful and great in a community tank. You'll notice I keep them with my Dwarf Neon Rainbowfish, a much smaller species.

Also I have a pair of fully grown Empre Gudgeons H. compressa for $20 the pair. This pair has spawned once, but I failed to raise the fry.
Here is a photo of a male in breeding colour:

This is not a photo of my fish, though my boy does colour up like this.

Cheers
Tony

Thanks for the Goyders Tony. They arrived in perfect condition, along with the dwarf neon rainbows and all the other stuff.

Delighted with the fish. They are already colouring up.

Many thanks for the careful packaging and prompt shipping. :P

It was a pleasure, and a learning experience.
