Wild Biotope of the Utchee Creek Rainbowfish North Queensland Australia.

Utchee Creek is a rural locality in the Cassowary Coast Region a short drive south west of the town of Innisfail, a well known tourist spot for the world heritage listed Paronella House that is near by, the Utchee Creek Rainbowfish (Melanotaenia utcheensis) varies in colour in it’s locality, Melanotaenia utcheensis belongs to an old rainbowfish lineage whose closest relative is M. duboulayi. The observation of various morphs of M. utcheensis from different streams and stream reaches indicates that populations may have been isolated from each other for some time.
