The corona rainbowfish (Melanotaenia corona) is a species of fish in the family Melanotaeniidae. It is endemic to West Papua in Indonesia.[2] Only two specimens of this rainbowfish have ever been collected, both males from the Sermowai River in Irian Jaya, Indonesia, which were collected in 1911 by K.
