Personally I think Bedotiidae are much closer to Melanotaeniidae than
Pseudomugilidae to both of them.

This is a question! Most say no. However, it depends how generous your
interpretation of rainbowfish may be. Let's say: no, they are Bedotiidae.
That's my opinion. However, there shall have been crosses between Bedotia
and Melanotaenia!
