SRC Member Tony Gill Posted November 24, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted November 24, 2014 Wah thanks Dr Gill! I did not know there are two color forms to Trachinops taeniatus. Pic here for comparison Normal form normal.jpg Red and yellow form red and yellow form.jpg 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 think it's just the odd individual that shows the red and yellow coloration. I've seen such individuals in the northern part of the range of the species (Byron Bay and Coffs Harbour, in northern NSW), but they have been recorded from much farther south by other people.

Digiman Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 This fish is being kept by a Tai Wan Aquarist(Stanley Shen). The picture is sent from him. The way of keeping a large group of angel fish in a bare bottom tank is not accept by majority US reefer nowaday. We can't denied that it is a traditional popular way of fish keeping in Hong Kong and Tai Wan. No matter what this is really a rare beautiful fish. Any expert can explain why Emperor angel is not likely to hybridize with other species? This emperor hybrid has grown so big and beautiful!! Video from Dr Chung.

Senior Reefer yikai Posted November 27, 2014 Senior Reefer Share Posted November 27, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
