**Celebes Rainbow (Marosatherina ladigesi) for Sale in Canada**

The Celebes Rainbow (Marosatherina ladigesi), also known as the Celebes Sailfin Rainbowfish, is one of the most elegant and unique freshwater rainbowfish available. Native to the rivers and estuaries of Sulawesi (formerly Celebes), Indonesia, this beautiful species is admired for its shimmering silver-blue body, striking yellow fins with bold black edging, and graceful sail-like dorsal and anal fins.

Unlike many larger rainbowfish, the Celebes Rainbow remains relatively compact while displaying exceptional elegance and constant activity. Their peaceful temperament makes them an outstanding addition to planted community aquariums and freshwater display tanks.
