Marosatherina Ladigesi
The Celebes rainbowfish (''Marosatherina ladigesi'') is a species of sailfin silverside endemic to Sulawesi (formerly known as Celebes) in Indonesia. It is the only known member of its genus. Description Males grow to 6–8 cm, and females to 5–7 cm in length. Their bodies are slender and almost fully transparent with a blue stripe along the sideline. The sexes can be easily distinguished, since males have elongated black dorsal and ventral fins, and are usually a little darker than females. Distribution and habitat ''Marosatherina ladigesi'' is found only near the town of Maros from which the genus name ''Marosatherina'' is derived. Due to ornamental fish business and pollution, their numbers have been dramatically reduced. These fish dwell in streams and estuaries, ranging from fresh to mildly brackish water. They are typically found in areas with high levels of dissolved oxygen. Most of their day is spent hiding among the leaves of plants, where they eat small ...
