Rheocles
''Rheocles'' is a genus of Madagascar rainbowfish. ''Rheocles'' has a restricted distribution, being found only in certain forested freshwater habitats in the central and eastern highlands of Madagascar including the Nosivolo River. The genus appears to feed almost exclusively on allochthonous material, primarily insects falling onto the water surface. Taxonomy In a 1990 study, this genus is monophyletic. However, in a 2004 analysis, it was found that ''Rheocles'' was paraphyletic, forming two distinct clades. ''R. alaotrensis'', ''R. lateralis'', and ''R. wrightae'' (all species that are not discernibly sexually dimorphic was recovered as the sister taxon of the rest of the bedotiids, including ''Bedotia'' sister to ''R. vatosa'' + ''R. derhami''. ''R. pellegrini'' and ''R. sikorae'' were excluded from this study due to lack of available material, however, ''R. sikorae'' is considered to be the sister taxon to ''R. wrightae''.

Rheocles Sikorae
''Rheocles sikorae'' is a species of rainbowfish in the subfamily Bedotiinae, the Madagascar rainbowfishes. It is endemic to Madagascar where found in tropical rivers and streams. It can reach the maximum recorded length of . Distribution and status ''Rheocles sikorae'' is native to Madagascar, where found in the Mangoro stream, high valley of the east coast of the island, and in the Manambola River near Anosibe. At one point in time, this species was thought to be extinct, but since 1996 it has been collected from five forested stream localities near the town of Marolambo. Taxonomy and name ''Rheocles sikorae'' was described by Henri Émile Sauvage in 1891 as ''Eleotris sikorae'' with a type locality given as "Madagascar".

Rheocles Pellegrini
''Rheocles pellegrini'' is a species of rainbowfish from the subfamily Bedotiinae. It is endemic to Madagascar. Its natural habitat is rivers. This species was described by John Treadwell Nichols and Francesca Raimonde La Monte in 1931 from a type collected "one day west of Andapa." by Austin L. Rand and P. A. DuMont who were part of the "Archbold Expedition" to Madagascar of 1929–1931. ''R. pellegrini'' was not then recorded until the 21st Century when populations were found in the area of the type locality. The specific name honours the French ichthyologist Jacques Pellegrin Jacques Pellegrin (12 June 1873, Paris – 12 August 1944) was a French zoologist. In Paris, he worked under zoologist Léon Vaillant (chair of reptiles and fishes) at the ''Muséum national d'histoire naturelle''. From 1897, Pellegrin served ... (1873-1944).

Madagascar Rainbowfish
Bedotiinae are a subfamily of the rainbowfish family Melanotaeniidae, commonly known as the Madagascar rainbowfish, Madagascan rainbowfish, or Malagasy rainbowfish due to their endemism to Madagascar. It includes two genera, ''Bedotia'' and ''Rheocles''. Anatomy and morphology As the common name rainbowfish implies, they are generally colorful fishes. Bedotiins are elongated, laterally compressed, and rarely exceed 100 mm in standard length. Bedotiins exhibit varying degrees of sexual dimorphism, which is quite pronounced in some species. The anal fin spine is weak or absent. Distribution The entire family of Bedotiidae is endemic to Madagascar. Bedotiins occur exclusively in freshwater environments and are distributed in small to medium-sized forested rivers and streams, occasionally in swamps and marshes, spanning nearly the entire eastern slope of Madagascar (''R. derhami'' is recorded from a westward draining Sofia River basin in the northeast of the island).
