Commercial fisheries have a nasty habit of selling bows with their locale as their common name (ie: Goyder River rainbowfish instead of Regal rainbowfish, Goyder River).

It sports a variety of color differences from these different areas as well, with the Goyder River being one of the brightest reds of all. This fish is often confused with the Crimson Spot Rainbow.

Currently some of our members are keeping several of the trifasciata "tribes" including Goyder river (red), Coen River (yellow), Wonga Creek (blue) Canoe Creek (green, pearlscale) as well as Wenlock river & Canoe Creek.
