Saw the Lake Kutubu rainbowfish for the first time

[elephantnose3334]

Today was the first time I saw a group of Lake Kutubu rainbowfish after a Vebas staff member mistaken them for the possibly extinct in the wild Lake Kurumoi rainbowfish. I asked the staff member if they had any parva rainbows, but he directed me to the Kutubu tank instead. The juvenile Kutubus flashed a pretty iridescent blue at me. I did not take a photo of them unfortunately. The two are very different.

They look ok when young but when you have a group of 20 adults displaying, then it's an amazing sight to see.
