Australia and its neighbour New Guinea are blessed with a range of fishes both large and small that are found nowhere else .

A group of these fishes come in such a range a of colours that they have quite rightly become known as rainbowfishes. All the colours of the rainbow have been duplicated in this group of fish with some attempting to cram the whole spectrum onto a single fish!  The added bonus is that they come in a range of sizes to suit almost any aquarium situation.

In comparison the other groups of native fish most commonly kept in aquaria reach quite gargantuan proportions. Though these other natives cannot match the rainbowfishes in the colour stakes their interesting habits and impressive size more than makes up for the shortfall. A number of these big guys have so much character that they become a focal point of conversation  just by being themselves.
