SRC Member Tony Gill Posted November 17, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted November 17, 2014 This might be of interest to some of you - particularly the schools of Trachinops taeniatus. It's photographed immediately north of Sydney Harbour. I used to snorkel there a lot when I lived in Sydeny in the late 1980s. I see the same species where I now live, about 60 km farther north. https://www.google.com/maps/views/view/streetview/oceans/shelly-beach-sydney-australia/HQSORBv7gGwAAAQYfefWPA?gl=us&heading=356&pitch=81&fovy=75&utm_content=buffer5b57a&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer#!view/streetview/oceans/shelly-beach-sydney-australia/HQSORBv7gGwAAAQYfefWPA?gl=us&heading=0&pitch=81&fovy=75&utm_content=buffer5b57a&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Tony Gill Posted November 17, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted November 17, 2014 Note that you can navigate around and see Heterodontus, wobbegongs, various local wrasses (Ophthalmolepis lineolatus is the main one that keeps popping up), Parma microlepis ... and more Trachinops.

However the wild harvested ones don't do well in our tropical climate. I am not sure if they are poor shippers, but those that came in last time were mostly in bad condition. However thanks to ORA, this beautiful species has now been captive bred!

SRC Member Tony Gill Posted November 19, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted November 19, 2014 Trachinops taeniatus doesn't always handle all that well, but are usually pretty tough once they are settled in. Hopefully the ORA ones are better suited. I suspect they may try to get hold of the red and yellow form of the species. I've seen a few of them, mostly in northern NSW. They look like this: http://portstephensmarinelife.weebly.com/uploads/6/1/2/5/6125720/8772426_orig.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digiman Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 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.

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.
