$2200 SGD..I don't print $$... Have one Hawaiin mask angel coming too. A female. I believe is going for around 12K+ SGD.
I bet that one's going into Ching's tank! -
Fuel's dream is to see liopropoma carmabii......mine is to see lipogramma klayi
I've already put out feelers for both of them 
Apparently there is a new gramma out of Cuba - probably a new species - but photos have been held back till a proper id has been made.....

genicanthus takeuchii.
Adult male....

Do u mean u have seen the fish b4 or the pic of the fish b4? Think u mean the latter, i've posted this fish in earlier posts, as for the name, i also want to know. Believe it is a hybrid though.
I think it is a juvenile Takeuchi angel (sp?). A Genicanthus angel endemic to Japanese waters and AFAIK there are none in captivity.

No la I not so rich to get that. If I can just see it in person I happy already.
Don't think so.....after you see it you will be sad....until you get it!

Get in touch with Edwin Lam. He has bred and raised them before ....but he used to be very closed about it when it came to information. Maybe by now he will be more free with the info.....

Think I saw 1 pc of Amphiprion thiellei at CF.
You didn't buy??

Fuel,
I'm still quite confuse over allardi and chrysopterus. So the photos below is a pair of allardi right? And they will only resemble chryseptorus when they grow bigger, whereas chrysopterus start out with jux one color pattern (as in the black body-yellow fin-blue stripe pattern) from juvi to adult?
Also may be interested to add a pair of clownfish. But prefer a pair of less aggressive and less active (in the sense of less likely to snatch food away from other fishes) clownfish. Those big size allardi's at the LCK are active and aggressive? Is true perc (interested in picasso) and latz considered aggressive?
Bro,
It's not easy to tell the difference in a nicely colored (blue striped) mature allardi and a dark bodied chrysopterus - regional variation makes it harder! I think chrysopterus have a stronger blue stripe in mature fish vs mature allardi. As for juves, chrysopterus juves actually can look different and even look like clarkii. Just go to CF and stare at that row of chrysopterus in the back - good range of juve and adult colors of the dark variants. Then drive down to LCK and stare at the allardis.......can really make your head spin
The only "less aggressive" clowns are the skunk group - pink, orange. Even those can get a bit territorial if they get big and start breeding, but generally much less aggressive than the others.
-
Hmm if latz is a difficult clownfish, then maybe we should shift our interest to this clownfish instead:
This one also not easy - water temps also need to be along the temps of latz, and possibly a little lower...
-
No need to go so far la. Last year, Desmond (PAC MARINE) had imported some from one of his Aussie shipment, but surprised to see tat nobody was interested in them even after more than a week in their tanks.
Actually, not that no one was interested.....but all were sold! A few pairs sold locally and the rest sold to Thailand.

We cant compare like that cos our LFS get in bulk and directly from supplier or collectors so price will be much cheaper. For example flame angel costs about US$40 in the states and if we compare like that then after conversion and freight etc they should cost >S$100 here, no, but rather we can still get at around $40. Recent gem tangs from Henry cost about S$3000 each, and in the states it'll cost also the same figure but in a higher currency of US$3000. So i tot with so many leucokranos brought in, the price should be around S$100 plus. Nevertheless, the high price of leucokranos did not deter buyers who like the fish.
There is no correlation for the price of leucokranos and black perculas between the US and CF. This is because CF retails them at more or less US retail prices. Maybe just to make a quick buck, but possibly to discourage local sales so they can keep them for their preferred export customers.
Last I checked, leuk prices were about US$300 per pair wholesale - but that was when the economy was good, and also when the USD was around 1.7+!
-
CF leucokranos prices range from $600 to $1,200 per pair nett. These were on the low end as they were small

I think should 300-400 bah... Asked before but cant remember theprice..
more.....Think it's an older batch, tho....didn't see any new ones
-
CF has ghost pipefish?!?!.... Everytime not fated, I was just down there yesterday! Must make another trip down.
Looked like 2 males to me.....
-
I'm not a tang lover, so cant see myself drop so much money on a tang. But i'm sure there are many tang lovers out there who've been dreaming on this fish. Further more the price given for the gem tang is considered very reasonable. Love to see somebody here getting this fish though.
Every time I see this kind of pic...
:cry2: -
Must I spell it out?
OK...Big McC ....or likely small McCs 
-
Bro, you mean the latz or the mccullochi? Singapore bred? Haha..
Big Macs..
-
latz clowns are not cheap.. But it came in once before.. Pac marine bought in before.. The first pic is the super duper rare mccullochi clown.. Cant remember the scientific name.. But even japan dun get much of it.. So we can forget about it..
We may get to see some around the middle of next year..... stay tuned

for a moment urs looks like neon tetra lehz.. lolx..
how long more to stop feeding rots????
dun really like to culture rots though many say they r easy..
Can generally start on bbs around day 9 or so. The "eye" in the mid body is the swim bladder - very prominent in neon goby larvae....

Nice fish! Looks pretty good in your pics although it may be difficult to assess in shallow water. Usually I would shy away from any fish that looks like it might have floatation problems in the bag/tank as they are usually bad news.
Good luck!
