Tigerhair Posted March 5, 2002 Report Share Posted March 5, 2002 I love them! I have 5 Melanotaenia praecox (dwarf neon rainbows) 3 Bedotia geayi (Madagascan rainbows) and a pair of rainbows that I can't for the life of me remember their name!! It begins with L and it's not in my fish "atlas"!!! I'll find them! I have loads of other fish, but the raibows and my 5 clown loaches who are just full of character! Anyone else like 'bows?

Tigerhair Posted March 5, 2002 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2002 Ohh and I have two male red rainbows (Glossolepis incisus) and a banded rainbow (Melanotaenia trifasciata)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted March 5, 2002 Report Share Posted March 5, 2002 Yep, there definitely are other rainbowfish fans around. I have: Pair of Melanotaenia lacustris (Lake Katubu Rainbows), 4 Melanotaenia boesmani (Boesman's Rainbows) 5 Bedotia gaeyi (Madagascan Rainbows) 3 Melanotaenia praecox (Neon dwarf rainbows) 3 Melanotaenia hebertaxelrodi (Lake Tabera Rainbows) Pair of Melanotaenia splendida australis? (sold as Australian rainbows) 3 Adult Telmatherina ladigesi (Celebes Rainbows) 3 Juvenile Iriatherina werneri (Feather-fin rainbows) I also had the little Spotted Blue-eye rainbow (Pseudomugil gertrudae) - which I unfortunately lost, but one of the other local club members has some fry that I hope to get once they're grown. I've recently joined the Australia New Guinea Fishes Association, ANGFA, and am eagerly awaiting the arrival of some of the merchandise they have available - A set of four posters of different rainbowfish varieties, and a reference CD-ROM, that is supposed to be an excellent reference. Their web address is: http://www.angfa.org.au/ I couldn't find the CD-ROM mentioned on the current website (I'd seen it ages ago on a previous version) but when I enquired via email they still had some available at, what I considered, a very reasonable price.

Thanks for the welcome too and all the other info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Posted March 5, 2002 Report Share Posted March 5, 2002 Hi Rob What was the price on the CD? My Rainbow Collection consists of 3 Boesemani (Very Large) 4 Glossolepis incisus And Always Looking For More Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted March 6, 2002 Report Share Posted March 6, 2002 The price I was quoted was 25 $AUS, the poster set (4 of them, 600mm x 420mm, of Trifaciata rainbow forms; Splendida rainbow forms; small rainbows and hardyheads; blue-eyes and glass perches) was 40 $AUS. For these two I was told about 10 $AUS for postage. The prices mentioned are 'members prices', I'm not sure if they have a non-members price or if they really care one way or the other.
