The Parkinsoni Rainbow, scientifically known as Melanotaenia parkinsoni, is a stunning and vibrant freshwater fish species native to New Guinea. It is highly sought after by aquarists for its striking colors and lively behavior.
 
The Parkinsoni Rainbow is a relatively small fish, reaching a maximum size of about 3 inches. It is recommended to keep them in a well-maintained aquarium of at least 20 gallons to provide ample swimming space. These fish are peaceful in nature and can be kept with other peaceful species in a community setup.
 
Feeding the Parkinsoni Rainbow is relatively easy, as they are omnivorous. They readily accept a varied diet that includes high-quality flakes, pellets, and live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp and daphnia. Offering a diverse diet will ensure their nutritional needs are met.
 
One of the unique traits of the Parkinsoni Rainbow is its striking coloration. It displays a vibrant mix of iridescent blues, greens, and yellows along its body, making it a true gem in any aquarium. The males often exhibit more intense colors and elongated fins, adding to their visual appeal.
