Terryz_ Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 what is this? it's labelled as a tongan flasher... Look like stressed coloration.. Quote Member of: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Reefer yikai Posted May 3, 2010 Senior Reefer Share Posted May 3, 2010 Look like stressed coloration.. i think it is. but the fins look quite different from any flasher. it should be a flasher judging from it's stress patterns.

Digiman Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 A large alpha male earlei in a japanese tank with a harem of females. Second two pics show the same male flashing. There is a video taken on this tank but cant find it anymore, guess it's removed. And the pics are not enhanced cos i remembered the flashing earlei in the video has even more awesome colours that the pic cant capture.

Digiman Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 What small small bandit.. you got lobang/news somewhere ah??? Not sure yet, waiting for good news A tiny bandit will need a lot of feeding and a dedicated tank. A 2.5 to 3 inches one is an ideal size, easier to take care. Furthermore a tiny bandit will be v costly, does it worth the risk? Have lah. Only low profile and 2 in the tanks. Can ask him to share with us the temp of his tank and any secrets to his success for keeping two bandits alive when so many pple cant even keep one alive after many attempts.

Senior Reefer yikai Posted May 7, 2010 Senior Reefer Share Posted May 7, 2010 Is it P.Attenuatus female? P. attenuatus. Male. Currently no pictures of P.attenuatus females on the internet, not that i know of. The diamond tail is very nice something that i've been looking for, for very very long time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terryz_ Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 It is a P. attenuatus for sure.. Becos of the tiny filament on the dorsal fin... It is different from other flashers.. But the white belly looks a bit weird... Hybrid? Quote Member of: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the white belly looks a bit weird... Hybrid? nope. they can adopt this colouration if they want to. actually they are rather dull when they decide not to display the blue stripes. But this is still something right on the top of my wish list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
