Parkinson's Rainbowfish

My most expensive fish. These are from Papua New Guinea and so that almost makes them a local fish, well almost. You won't see them in fish-cam until I am able to setup a seperate camera, as they are staying in my slightly arger quarantine tank.

I have bought a pair, a male and a female, I believe they known to spawn so I will keep my eyes open for fry. The ones I have are juvenile, so it will be some time before they come into their colours.
