The Madagascar Rainbowfish (Bedotia geayi) is a spectacular, elongated rainbowfish species known for its shimmering silver body and brilliant red fins. Native to the clear rivers and streams of eastern Madagascar, this peaceful and active schooling fish brings elegance and movement to any community aquarium. 🌿🐠

Bedotia geayi are hardy, energetic swimmers that display their best coloration in groups of six or more. Males develop brighter hues and extended fins, especially in well-lit planted aquariums. They thrive in clean, oxygen-rich water and are excellent companions for other peaceful species. ✨
