	Goyder River rainbows--color question
tkchill02 Hobbyist Posts: 83 Kudos: 52 Votes: 0 Registered: 13-Aug-2004	I have about 6 rainbow fish in my 72 gl & two are Goyder River rainbows. One male & one female,as one is broader than the other. They have an amazing color assembly but I have recently noticed one with a brilliant white just on top of its body & just on certain times of the day. Does anyone know why this appears? Breeding time? I was just curious & would appreciate any info anyone could give.
