The Lake Kurumoi rainbowfish (Melanotaenia parva) is a species of freshwater rainbowfish in the subfamilyMelanotaeniinae. It was endemic to West Papua in Indonesia. Its natural habitat was only the small Lake Kurumoi in the Bird's Head Peninsula.[2] It is primarily threatened by habitat loss, however it is unknown if the wild population still exists as it has probably been extirpated from its entire native range.
