OMG! Look at these hybrids and rare fishes!

[yikai]

Beautiful as always! However i guess its gg to be difficult as with all pseudojuloides.

Yes pencil wrasses are tough.

and male pencils will not keep colors without a female. i've yet to see a female of this pseudojuloides.

And a new rainfordia opercularis (Rainfordia can be offered as low as $2300 in Japan, cheaper than what we have to pay here)

[Digiman]

Love this aberrant polleni grouper from BH

[VelvetAirwaves]

[yikai]

one day before news of nahackyi appeared, digiman and i were having a conversation on how 2013 was the year of the dwarf angels.

this year alone we've seen 2 nigriocellas, numerous peppermints and narcosis and a debelius. in addition to the numerous "rare" dwarves like interruptus, joculator, colini that are already quite a staple in the market. the only thing that could add wonders to this list would be a nahackyi, and it may very well come true. the maraschino cherry on top of my whipped cream sundae would be abei. and then book closed for 2013.

we still want surprises for next year.
