  • A New Species of Rainbowfish (Glossolepis: Melanotaeniidae) from Irian Jaya, Indonesia
    FoS(210)Vol15No3.xps4 31/3/04 1:44 PM Page 766 A New Species of Rainbowfish (Glossolepis: Melanotaeniidae) from Irian Jaya, Indonesia Gerald R. Allen* Abstract A new species of rainbowfish, Glossolepis dorityi, is described from Irian Jaya. It is distinguised from its nearest members in the genus, G. leggetti Allen, in certain body proportions and G. multisquamatus (Weber & de Beaufort), in modal counts of soft dorsal-fin rays, pectoral-fin rays, and predorsal scales. A list of the known species of the genus Glossolepis Weber, and their general distribution is presented. Introduction This article describes a new species of rainbowfish (Melanotaeniidae) belonging to the genus Glossolepis. It was collected by Dan Dority and David Price during a weekend outing to a small lake, about 68 km due west of Jayapura, Irian Jaya’s capital city. Dan and David have been working in the Jayapura-Sentani area for several years, but only recently became aware of this location, which is part of a cluster of at least 15 floodplain lakes. I had flown over the lakes and photographed several of them during my first visit to Irian Jaya in 1982. But at that time access was poor and I did not consider trying to visit them. Now they can be reached in less than two hours by car from Lake Sentani. Dan and David collected the first specimens in April 2000. About four months later I had an opportunity to visit the Sentani area for a Conservation International training course and joined them for a day trip to the same lake, which is within one km of a well-travelled road.

  • ANGFA Life Membership
    ANGFA National Life Membership awarded to Barry Crockford “Barry has been an active contributor within and supporter of ANGFA for over 30 years .... ......ANGFA’s experiences with the PNG rainbowfish would have been substantially less if not for Barry’s contribution to ANGFA and the hobby.” Rodney Wubben Barry Crockford has been an active member of ANGFA ever since its inception in the early 1970s. Barry worked in the aircraft industry in Papua New Guinea from the 1960s Travelled to PNG from mid 1970s to 1980s to collect and bring back to Australia many new species of rainbowfish to share with ANGFA and its members. Glossolepis maculosus – The Spotted Rainbow Barry discovered this fish in 1979 (Omsis River, PNG ) The vast majority of PNG rainbowfish present in Australia from 1970s - 1980s were brought into the country by Barry The list of fish include: • Melanotaenia goldiei • Glossolepis wannamensis • M. lacustrus • G. maculosus • M. papuae • Chilatherina axelrodi • M. parkinsoni • C.campsi • M. sexlineata • C. fasciata --Lake Wanam • M. affinis Pagwi • Tateuredina • Pseudomugil furcatus ocellicauda (Peacock Gudgeon) • P. conniae Barry’s contributions to ANGFA and native fish however did not stop there Barry established the ‘Rainbowfish Species group’ (RSG) in the early 1990s with a few other ANGFA members, to conserve many of the rainbowfish (and particularly from PNG) which had substantially declined in numbers within the hobby at that time. One of Barry’s major contributions within the RSG over the 1990s was performing a major breeding program for the C. axelrodi. Starting from only one small male identified in Melbourne and two mature females (of only a few females) This was the total stock identified in Australia and from this micro- population Barry bred at least six generations over a 10 year period to bring them back to a strong healthy population.

    Rec. West. Aust. Mu.'!. 19808: (:3) DESCRIPTIONS OF FIVE NEW RAINBOWFISHES (MELANOTAENIIDAE) FROM NEW GUINEA GERALD R. ALLEN* & NORBERT J. CROSS* ABSTRACT A collection of freshwater melanotaeniid fishes taken on an expedition to Dutch New Guinea (now Irian Jaya) by the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Histoire (Leiden, Netherlands) during 1954-55 was studied. It contained four new species which are described herein: Melanotaenia ajarrwruensis (Ajamaru Lakes, Vogelkop Peninsula), M. boesemani (Ajamaru Lakes), M. japenensis (Japen Island), and Glossolepis pseudo­ incisus (Tami River, Djajapura district). An additional new species, Melanotaenia oktediensis is described on the basis of three specimens collected by the Smithsonian Institution (uSA) and Papua New Guinea Fisheries Department from the head­ waters of the Fly River System, southern Papua New Guinea. The five new species are described in detail, illustrated, and compared with allied species. INTRODUCTION Rainbowfishes of the family Melanotaeniidae inhabit freshwater streams, swamps, and lakes of northern and eastern Australia and New Guinea. The family contains nine genera and approximately 40 species (Alien, in press). All of these are small fishes, usually under 15 cm standard length, dwelling pri­ marily in fresh water. Because oftheir diminutive size they are commercially unimportant, although they are eaten, usually dried, in some villages of New Guinea. Several species, primarily from Australia, are esteemed as aquarium fishes because of their attractive colours and ease of breeding in captivity. The senior author is currently engaged in the study of melanotaeniids, with plans for an overall revision in the near future. In connection with this work specimens were examined at European museums during 1975 and 1977.

  • Rainbowfish (2)
    FISHCARE SHEET No: 23 Rainbowfish (2) Species: Pseudomugil. Family: Atheriniformes. Geographic Origin: Papua New Guinea, Australia. Common Names: Blue-eyed Rainbowfish. Compatibility: Generally active fish that are best kept in a shoal of at least six fish. Not aggressive towards one another or to tankmates. Being small fish, they should not be kept with large boisterous fish. Best kept in a sole species aquarium. Minimum Aquarium Size: These smaller species can be kept in a 450mm x 250mm x 250mm (18" x 10" x 10") Aquarium. The aquarium must have a have a lid and a cover glass. o o Temperature: Ideal temperature is around 24 C (75 F) but can cope with higher temperatures. Habitat: Best kept in a well-planted aquarium, with a gravel substrate. Water: Tolerant of hard water. Will generally only breed in hard water. Water change of approximately 25% each week is most beneficial. Health : Generally do not seem to be over susceptible to White Spot or Fungus. As with all new fish, quarantine for at least one week in a separate tank. Any fish that appear sick, immediately isolate in a separate tank. Do not dispose of dead fish by flushing them down the toilet. Incinerate or wrap in paper and put in dustbin. Diet: Will accept dried, frozen and all types of live food (e.g. small Daphnia ). Favourite food has to be newly hatched Brine Shrimp. Do not overfeed. Many problems are caused by overfeeding (pollution of water by decaying food). Plants: All species of tropical plants are acceptable. Not known as plant eaters.

  • Final Report Ornate Rainbowfish, Rhadinocentrus Ornatus, Project
    Final Report Ornate Rainbowfish, Rhadinocentrus ornatus, project. (Save the Sunfish, Grant ID: 19393) by Simon Baltais Wildlife Preservation Society of QLD Bayside Branch (QLD) inc. (Version: Saturday, 25 June 2011) 1 1. Introduction 1.1 Background The Rhadinocentrus ornatus (Ornate Sunfish, soft spined sunfish, or Ornate Rainbowfish) is a freshwater rainbowfish from the Family Melanotaeniidae. This Melanotaeniidae family of fish is only found in Australia and New Guinea. It’s a small, mainly insectivorous species, the largest individuals reaching a maximum length of approximately 80mm (Warburton and Chapman, 2007). The Rhadinocentrus ornatus (R. ornatus) is said to be a small, obligate freshwater fish species restricted to the coastal wallum habitat of eastern Australia (Hancox et al, 2010), where waters are slow flowing and acidic, and submerged and emergent vegetation is plentiful (Warburton and Chapman, 2007). However, Wildlife Queensland has found this species utilising other habitat types, such as gallery rainforest along Tingalpa Creek West Mt Cotton, a finding supported by BCC (2010). Good populations of R.ornatus were particularly found in clear slow – medium flowing streams supporting no aquatic or emergent vegetation located within gallery rainforest. The species was particularly common in 12.3.1 Gallery rainforest (notophyll vine forest) on alluvial plains (Endangered) within a landscape comprised of 12.11.5 Open forest complex with Corymbia citriodora, Eucalyptus siderophloia, E. major on metamorphics ± interbedded volcanics

Hatching success of rainbowfish eggs following exposure to air Lois Oulton, Penelope Carbia, and Culum Brown Macquarie University KEYWORDS egg desiccation, Lake Eacham, Melanotaenia, translocation ABSTRACT Translocation of fishes within and between drainage basins is widely recognised as a threatening process to Australian native fishes. While many translocations are deliberate, for example for fisheries enhancement, it is possible that translocation can occur naturally. In the Wet Tropic region of Australia, the widespread eastern rainbowfish, Melanotaenia splendida, has begun to colonise the Atherton tablelands. This is of particular concern because the area is home to several endangered endemic species such as the Lake Eacham rainbowfish, M. eachamensis, and its allies. It is likely that some of the translocations have occurred through the use of this species as bait, but the recent invasion of Lake Eacham may have occurred naturally via the movement of eggs between nearby streams running into Lake Tinaroo.
