SRC Member straydum Posted April 24, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted April 24, 2011 reborn didn't bring them in as many times as iwarna and cf, probably just once or twice cause it was sold of as a normal flasher to me. here's another angulatus x lineopunctatus and a lineopunctatus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Reefer yikai Posted April 24, 2011 Senior Reefer Share Posted April 24, 2011 reborn didn't bring them in as many times as iwarna and cf, probably just once or twice cause it was sold of as a normal flasher to me. here's another angulatus x lineopunctatus and a lineopunctatus the one above is the same one i posted. it was taken by the same diver in Anilao, philippines. bottom is a normal lineopunctatus. u can see in the hybrid that the tail is double-emarginate. combining both crescent and rounded characteristics into one tail. the fins also bear the angulated feature with the filaments from lineopunctatus.

SRC Member straydum Posted April 24, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted April 24, 2011 yeap both pictures are of the same fish, probably taken by john hoover? the other pictures in the album are just as amazing. just curious is the double-emarginate the only obvious tell tale for hybrids? based on the tail and what i've seen in shipments, hybrids don't seem rare, just uncommon. but people don't really take notice to them though.

Senior Reefer yikai Posted April 24, 2011 Senior Reefer Share Posted April 24, 2011 yeap both pictures are of the same fish, probably taken by john hoover? the other pictures in the album are just as amazing. just curious is the double-emarginate the only obvious tell tale for hybrids? based on the tail and what i've seen in shipments, hybrids don't seem rare, just uncommon. but people don't really take notice to them though. hybrid between flasher wrasses are very common. not rare at all. this is because flasher wrasses are very uncoordinated spawners. producing alot of hybrids between species. the most commonly found hybrid is between filamented (Paracheilinus filamentosus) and yellow fin flasher (Paracheilinus flavianalis) the tell tale sign is the tail. but it also depends on what the parent species are. in the above case, filamented flasher wrasse has a elongated swallow like tail. whereas yellow fin flasher wrasse has a rounded tail. the resulting hybrid will have both traits, a double emarginated tail. also filamented flasher wrasses can have as many as 6 filaments or more, whereas yellow fin typically have only 1-2. rarely 3. the resulting hybrid will give you a filament number of somewhere in between. and of course, the ana| fin colour will usually be a mix of yellow-orange with very irregular blue spotting. typical of hybrid traits. everything is halfway halfway. here's a picture of one of the many many hybrids i've found. other hybrids include P. filamentosus X P. angulatus P. angulatus X P. lineopunctatus of course, any hybrid containing blood from the Angulatus flasher will instantly show traits of angular upward and downward pointing dorsal and ana| fin respectively. you need to have a sharp eye and know your phenotypes for each species well to identify hybrids between very similar species in one genus. i don't want to go too much into genetics, so i'll leave it at that. perhaps other hybrids involving P. cyaneus? the above 3 are the most commonly known ones.

Pictilis are known to be v difficult to get it to start feeding. Most of them starved to death in our aquarium. But once they start feeding they are not so difficult to keep.
