Chilatherina pricei, commonly known as Price's rainbowfish,[1] is a species of rainbowfish only found on Yapen Island.[2] The species was described by Gerald R. Allen and Samuel J. Renyaan in 1996, and was named after David Price, who collected the type specimen for this species.[3]
Chilatherina pricei is endemic to Yapen, Cenderawasih Bay, Western New Guinea, Indonesia, where it is found in the main channel of the Reifafeif river system over boulders or rocks.[4] Price's rainbowfish is sometimes found with the Melanotaenia japenensis, despite it generally not occurring in the main channel of the Reifafeif river.[2]
Price's rainbowfish grows to a length of 7 to 10 cm (2.8 to 3.9 in), and was described based on 23 collected specimens. It looks similar to Chilatherina fasciata, but has a blunter snout.[2][3]
