The Dwarf McCulloch's Rainbowfish (Melanotaenia maccullochi) is a small, peaceful schooling fish from Northern Australia and Papua New Guinea that grows to about 2 inches (5 cm). It features yellow to red lateral stripes and orange-red gill spots, with males being more colorful and having more elaborate fins.
