Digiman Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 Recently a few of our LFSes started bringing in Mauritius and South Africa shipment and we get to see some of the common fishes from that area like gem tang and chrysogaster clowns being brought in. Thus this brings our attention to wat kind of rare fishes are there from Mauritius and SA that we may expect to see these future shipments? 1. Paracheilinus Attenuatus (Kenya) 2. cirrhilabrus sanguineus (Mauritius) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Genicanthus angel endemic to Japanese waters and AFAIK there are none in captivity. Quote Intelligent people talk about ideas...... Average people talk about things......

Digiman Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 I think is Genicanthus semicinctus??? Seen it before in some websit... Found these info from RC and Web: No, it is a juvenile form of G.Takeuchii like wat Fuel said. G.Takeuchii is the biggest of the genus growing up to 14 inches. It is found only in Ogasawara Japan, a national park (also a world heritage site like Lord Howe) where all collections of animals are illegal and as such this fish is not available to the trade. G.Takeuchii can be found at scuba depth and is rather common in Ogasawara water. It is also a cool water fish like Wrought Iron butterflyfish. There were illegal poaching of the fish in the past and they were sold at crazy price of 5-figures. Personally i feel the adult form is reli ugly and with its cool water requirement and big size, it should be better off left in the ocean.

Digiman Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 Lets go gaga over these wrasse and butterflies... Marjorie Fairy Wrasse Banks Butterfly Will we ever get these in Singapore... The majorie got chance, since its from fiji. Bank's butterfly has a chance also but slightly lower because our local carribbean source carries limited and boring varities of atlantic fishes so our LFS should seriously consider changing to other suppliers! But if banks ever comes in one day, den other atlantic fishes like carmabi and aculeatus will also start appearing. Anyway many years ago the 10x rarer than banks, the falcifer butterfly, came in but no one took a liking to it. Locally there's no market for rare prognathodes. So i'm content jux to see a few more marcellae. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not many collector for Majorie right and i think it is quite rare in the waters too..... Wah... Din know Falcifer came in before... But P. Marcellae is more yellowish compared to banks...
