To reduce big fish, letting go my watanabei pair.
Kept for many months, eats everythinh, exceptional health. Male has very long tail (old photo, it's longer now).
Selling at $200 for the pair, my bought price from coral farm.
Male 6 inches
Female 4.5 inches roughly.
I will be overseas soon, so I will put the fish at iwarna. Collection can be done there, and just pay them. I will collect the money when I come back. Interested parties please PM me thanks!

What I meant was that I receive many PMs asking things like, "is that lobo for sale" and other stuff not related to the sales. Please don't argue in this thread thanks. Andtsg, I don't know why you're making a big deal out of SEA. They accept donations such as these on a case to case basis. And if no one wants to buy my fish after a week I'll donate it there if they want it. So not sure why you're being so childish and ignoramus here. I guess the level of maturity in this forum is far underdeveloped as I had originally imagined. Such a shame really. Anyway fish pending collection. Thanks everybody

Receive a lot of irrelevant messages and PMs. Please only contact if you are interested. I forgot some additional information. Fish is 3.5-4 inch Have been with me for a long time, so it's eating pellets and flake. But not frozen food. No ich. If no buyer after a week I will donate it to the curator of S.E.A aquarium. Thanks everyone.

LOL..

peppermint angels have been talked about literally to the point of being over-exposed. in the past 2 years alone there have been more peppermints in the market than the entire history of the fish's existence.
it has been blogged about and broadcasted to death, almost to the point of being mundane. even in SRC numerous photos and information have been posted. not just on peppermint, but on personatus and kingi.
it's not 6 digit. never has been, never will be.
google. it's your best friend.

very nice individual.
i love the soft anal and dorsal fin markings.

I think its gobiodon, but dont know the common name.
what an unusual Goby!
It looks like Gobiodon erythrospilus but that's just an educated guess. Its unusually yellow though.

Very rare hawaiian flame angel
Weird sight: tinkeri butterfly found at very shallow depth

Wah thanks Dr Gill! I did not know there are two color forms to Trachinops taeniatus.
Pic here for comparison
Normal form
Red and yellow form
Is it a locality variant? Or is it just aberrations in few individuals?
I have yet to see the red and yellow form in the trade.
in Queenlands, the normal form is the model for Plagiotremus tapeinosoma, which has a colour form very similar to the hula fish.

perhaps the lfs of the future here will be like live aquaria, where the fish is sent to the customer and ordering is done online due to lack of space. not sure if this has been done before locally
as someone who has been to live aquaria and have met kevin kohen many times,
i can assure you live aquaria is not lacking in space.

Dr. Chung also has in the same tank,
- a juvenile captive bred personatus angelfish. However it is still very small and housed in a betta box, therefore i didn't take photos.
- a single male Tosanoides flavofasciatus. Too shy and didn't allow me to take any nice photos to post.
- a single Prognathodes "basabei".
- another hybrid angelfish, this time between Pomacanthus maculosus and P. chrysurus. Very very shy, impossible to photograph. but very beautiful.

"personatus" means mask, and both sexes of this angel has a prominent face mask. the females have a black mask while the males have it in yellow.
This photo shows the male while it was chasing another fish in the tank, and when it's excited it turns from white to gun metal grey. the yellow mask is very clearly seen here.

As an editor for reef builders, i'm very fortunate to be able to travel and meet many influential people in the industry. This weekend I visited Dr. Chung Wing Hung and took some photos of three amazing species. Dr. Chung if you're reading this, thanks again for the invite. Hope to see you again soon!
With so much hype surrounding the captive breeding success of this species, let us not forget how truly magnificent the adult male is, and how it got its specific name of "personatus".

This fish comes courtesy of Deep Sea Challengers. It's in their recent https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpM9bX5CJCQ.
Any idea what species this is?
It's Hime japonica.

Your Pseudoplesiops rosae and Lubbockichthys multisquamatus appear to be two of my new species of Lubbockichthys. It's hard to be sure though, without seeing side-on views. I've almost completed my paper revising this genus (and am chipping away on a revision of Pseudoplesiops at the same time), and am hoping to submit it for publication later this year. Once it comes out, I might write a contribution for this group on the various species. (At this stage I'm recognising six species in Lubbockichthys, three of which are new. I'm struggling a bit with species limits in Pseudoplesiops, but there are at least 10 in that genus.)

please do share with us your new publication.
and finally we can put to rest this horrifying conundrum of pseudoplesiops vs lubbockichthys.

Thanks! Too exited. Yes manonichthys jamaliThat's Manonichthys jamali, not Pseudochromis. Some of the other Manonichthys species are also mimics. For example, M. paranox is a mimic of Centropyge nox - even has the odd flicky way of swimming.
