OMG! Look at these hybrids and rare fishes!


Recommended Posts

Ok now with a better pic i can go and search wat it is.

The body shape and tail is v different from wassi and elongatus.

Was the body this red before it died? Cos u told me it's bluish grey but from the pic of the dead fish it looks reddish grey.

Think yesterday it was stress coloration with all the whitespots infecting it. Only when it was dead did the natural color emerge.

Always something more important than fish.

i've posted this before but i'm posting it again.

i can't believe this has not gathered as much attention as i hope it would.

a snow white flame wrasse.

super rare as no fairy wrasse has ever been documented as an aberrant before. but it reverted back to normal colours in a few months.

here are three african butterflies that look very similar.

Chaetodon hoefleri

Chaetodon marleyi

Chaetodon robustus

out of the three, robustus is the most commonly offered african butterfly.

hoefleri and marleyi are very rare and super expensive.

OMG, I like this...

If u like look out for east african shipment. They are rare but has appeared before.

The last one tat came in was from CF east african shipment. That same shipment u and Jon bought the flameback angels.

It was stuck at the corner of the back tanks, nobody buy becos it was injured and was breaking down and it died shortly after.

Before tat i believe LCK brought in before also.

It is not an expensive fish.

It is every reefer's dream to replicate a schooling group of fish in our home tank. But sadly v few fishes school in a small confine environment.

The best options being leptacanthus cardinals and parvulus cardinals. And for the nano tank, aioliops megastigma.

However for the Japanese they are v lucky, they are able to get another great schooling fish for the aquarium, Rhabdamia Gracilis (Luminous cardinal fish).

The fish is also found in Fiji, but is never exported from there. Japanese get the fish from their own waters.

Super rare pair of goby, Lubricogobius dinah.

Only the Japanese can get this fish, and yes it is super pricey, cost the same as a conspic angel!

omg!?

i posted this many times before and it's one of my fav. but the price of a conspic!? the japanese are crazy.

Gorgeous randalli anthias male
