Rainbow ID please

[Scougie]

I have these Rainbows that I can't Id any suggestions? The pic quality isn't that good but the first one is a deep red colour all over and the secon pic the fish is a golden brown colour. I think this is the female of the same species??

[Scougie]

I've looked on the Rainbow online site and your right Ryan there Glossolepis incisus. Thanks very much. As for the "Dyed fish" comment! Lol.

 

[ryan]

Certainly not dyed fish, males are a very bright red. Nice fish.

 

[Scougie]

I know. He's a real beauty the colours have only recently come good I also have a bulb in the tank that enhances all the fish colours nicely so I suppose I can excuse the dyed fish comment a little bit!

 

[Scougie]

By the way does anyone know the real name for a dwarf neon blue rainbow?

 

[ryan]

Melanotaenia praecox.

 

[The-Wolf]

Well I sit corrected

 

[Scougie]

Oh if there Praecox then I don't know what my other rainbows are either! There blue all over unlike the Praecox there more Boesmanis shaped? I'll try and get a pic any ideas?
