Rainbow Chubs are rare in Hawaii. I’ve seen them before, though not often. These three were in an area where I saw two the week before. My fish book says they drift in as waifs from the Eastern Pacific, but I wonder if perhaps a breeding population is establishing itself in Hawaii.

They’re very attractive fish, especially when they catch the light.

Lucky finds and great photos Graham. Is the blue iridescent?

The blue really pops when it catches the light, as it was mostly in these photos. Otherwise, it still stands out but doesn’t have that same glow.

They were very cooperative. Chubs in general seem to be fairly mellow fish.
