Hi All, Finally decided to let go my one and only unique Fiji pipe organ for bidding. Very healthy and stable. It has grown alot since I first got it. Size is much much bigger than 50cts coin. Starting price: $1 Minimum bid: $1 Bidding ends: Friday, 30 August 2013, 2359hrs Collection place: Bt Panjang Happy bidding~ Photo provided below is WYSIWYG.

this tiny flame is just as rare as the yellow scopas. the origin of this flame angel is from the Philippines. Almost all the flames you see for sale are collected from Marshall islands and the surrounding areas. Very few come from Hawaii where they are locally rare. Even fewer come from Philippines, where they are at their limit in terms of their distribution. Philippine flames are more orange in color, and because are rare locally finding a mate of the same species is not as easy and they more often than not, mate with the more abundant and closely related rusty angel to produce rusty x flame, or false shepardi angel offsprings. yes, a normal flame from marshall/christmas islands is so much easier and nicer to obtain. a normal hawaiian yellow tang is so much yellower and nicer than the brown scopas. but knowing the story behind these unusual fish makes it all the more enjoyable and special! just sharing in case some people are wondering what all the fuss is about for these 2 normal looking fish.

Commercial breeding efforts have produced countless aberrations and unusual designs but I still root for the classic and timeless look of the false percula clown. That image is too deeply ingrained in my head although I suspect I would be more receptive towards other unusual fishes that I have never seen before.
