(Other members of the genus Melanotaenia)
ADULT SIZE: 8 cm
WATER CONDITIONS: Very hard and alkaline
TEMPERATURE RANGE: 23-27 C
FOOD: Feed Melanotaenia praecox live and dried foods
DISTRIBUTION: Indonesia
AQUARIUM CARE: Dward neon rainbowfish hail from the Mamberamo river system in northern Irian Jaya, Indonesia. This huge river has numerous micro-habitats; M. praecox is thought to prefer shallow areas with submerged plants and driftwood. In the aquarium, this is easily replicated, and floating plants also seem to make this fish more comfortable. Some open water is also important for free-swimming, and as a shoaling fish, it should be kept in a group of at least six individuals.
