Rainbow Fish

[Gilli]

I bought a Boesmani rainbow fish which looks like the pics on the net. Then I bought another 2 one of which looks round top and bottom and the other looks flat at the top then rounded beneath. My question is do they come in different shapes? Ive tried to get pics but they are so fast they all come out burred!

The older males will get taller in their mid sections. Females tend to remain slender.

That page has some medium sized males at the top and a female half way down.
