Description: The Rainbow Runner is a fast-swimming pelagic fish easily recognised by its slender, torpedo-shaped body, bright blue-green colouration, and two distinct yellow stripes running along each side. The lower body is silvery white, and the caudal fin is deeply forked. Found in open waters near reefs and seamounts, this species often forms schools and is highly migratory. Rainbow Runners are opportunistic predators, feeding on fish, crustaceans, and cephalopods, and are prized by anglers for their speed and strength.
