The crimson-spotted rainbowfish (''Melanotaenia duboulayi''), known less commonly as the Duboulay's rainbowfish,〔Crimsonspotted Rainbowfish, ''Melanotaenia duboulayi'' (Castelnau, 1878), Australian Museum ()〕 is a species of freshwater rainbowfish endemic to eastern Australia. ''M. duboulayi'' has also been kept in aquariums since the early 20th century, and is the original Australian rainbowfish. == Taxonomy == ''Melanotaenia duboulayi'' was initially collected by Duboulay (du Boulay) in the 1870s from the Richmond River in northern New South Wales. It was scientifically described as ''Atherinichthys duboulayi'' by Francis de Castelnau in 1878.〔De Castelnau,F.L., "On Several New Australian (chiefly) Fresh-Water Fishes", ''Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales'' 3-pp140-144, 1878. ()〕 It was later known as ''Nematocentris fluviatilis'' and ''Melanotaenia fluviatilis''. It was reclassified as ''Melanotaenia splendida fluviatilis'' following a review of the rainbowfish group by Allen in 1980. The current scientific name, ''Melanotaenia duboulayi'', given by Crowley, ''et al.'' in 1986, is a result of the study of early stages of life.〔Crowley L.E.L.M., W. Ivantsoff and G. R. Allen, "Taxonomic Position of Two Crimson-spotted Rainbowfish, ''Melanotaenia duboulayi'' and ''Melanotaenia fluviatilis'' (Pisces: Melanotaeniidae), from Eastern Australia, with Special Reference to Their Early Life-history Stages," ''Australian Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research'', 1986, 37: 385-98.〕 This study separated ''M. splendida fluviatilis'' into two species, ''M. duboulayi'' from the eastern coastal drainage systems of northern New South Wales and southern Queensland, and ''M. fluviatilis'' from the inland Murray-Darling basin system west of the Great Dividing Range.〔(''Melanotaenia duboulayi'', Rainbowfish )〕
