Digiman Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 2 mega rare anthias. the first one is bloody gorgeous. Pseudanthis heemstrai and pseudanthias hiva. the species name is just so beautiful. P. heemstrai is found in the red sea. hope to see it one day P.Heemstrai will not be collected, jux like the beautiful red sea endemic P.Taeniatus is also not collected. Redsea is v big, there is only a small part of red sea with collection. Wrong fish den.. LOL... The yellowtail Liopoproma is nicer.. Yellow tail lio is actually v v nice and it's quite common also. But tried twice and both died of swim bladder problem. lol digi! just realised you were featured on reef builders last year for your bodianus sanguineus and fuscipinnis anthias Oh my tat's ancient news liao! Anyway now these fishes are not so rare as before as diver rufus kimura and his team has made another deep dive recently and there are many many holanthias fuscipinnis caught and also a 1.5 inche bodianus sanguineus. If there's a chance i hope to get the sanguineus hog again, big or small, it's such a lovable and boisterous fish, like my dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true, both are still rare, but jux not as rare as before. B.Sanguineus also on and off will appear in japan and sizes can vary quite a lot. H.fuscipinnis is v v nice when u see it in person. Two has appeared in singapore and a third one was not brought in because no market. US pple are so lucky now, from reefcentral: a 50cents size true hawaii flame, fuscipinnis and tiny sanguineus.

Digiman Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 I dun even think it is possible to keep these small juvenile alive... Like so difficult and delicate.. I will not worry about tat because R.Kimura and his team has good reputation for deepwater collection and these fishes are prob ascend over many hours or even days like how they did for P.Basabei. Furthermore fuscipinnis and sanguineus are v hardy and easy fishes, so likely they'll survive and do well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
