The Lake Kurumoi rainbowfish, Melanotaenia parva, is a species of freshwater rainbowfish in the subfamily Melanotaeniinae. It was endemic to West Papua in Indonesia, and its natural habitat was only the small Lake Kurumoi on the Bird's Head Peninsula. Habitat loss is the main threat to the species. It is not known whether a wild population still exists, because the fish has probably been extirpated from its entire native range.
