Can Anyone Identify These Rainbowfish?

[Freddie]

Hey, I was at my local LFS & saw these. Id read about rainbowfish but this was the first time id ever seen any. Srry bout my camera but they wudnt sit still










U cant really see the colors(once again, bad phne camera)but ive mostly seen blue and red-orange

Can you get a picture that shows their color and patterning? Too much yellow in those pic's but they remind me of Madagascar rainbows.

They are most likely Melanotaenia splendida hybrids, but I would need to see better photos. The lower photo looks a little like M. maccullochi, but that could be just a trick of the lighting/photograph quality.

I looked the splendidas up & I think yur right. Do u know how big theyll get? They are currently 4 in a 55 gal with 2 angelfish, 1 peacock eel, & a rainbow shark. R they fine where they are or shud I move them 2 a larger tank?
