FuEl Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I believe Liveaquaria labelled this fish wrong? http://www.liveaquaria.com/diversden/ItemDisplay.cfm?c=2733+3&ddid=93697 How can that be L. mitratum?

Senior Reefer yikai Posted July 14, 2010 Senior Reefer Share Posted July 14, 2010 that is definitely not a mitratum. that is liopropoma sp. the species name has not been evaluated yet. liveaquaria had one for sale before together with a plethora of other liopropoma sp. not too long ago. here's a picture. they labelled it as liopropoma sp. also. here's another photo of the yellow tail basslet. liopropoma sp. i duno if the species name has been given to this fish yet as of now. maybe digiman would chime in. but i'm quite certain it's not a mitratum. this fish is common here. the one that is ultra rare and price off the scales is the red tailed one. so keep your eyes peeled.

Senior Reefer yikai Posted July 14, 2010 Senior Reefer Share Posted July 14, 2010 posted 2 years ago in reefbuilders. a potentially new liopropoma sp. looks alot like swalesi but with differences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Reefer yikai Posted July 14, 2010 Senior Reefer Share Posted July 14, 2010 anyway, i've spoken to victor regarding Marjorie today. he said Walt smith do offer fishes but he said alot are common ones like tomato clown (it could be the very rare fiji tomato clown look alike) anyway i just told him if he can, try to enquire about the marjorie. if everything goes well, we should be able to see this fairy wrasse for the first time in Singapore in the next few months. Marjorie wrasse is being collected by walt smith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Reefer yikai Posted July 14, 2010 Senior Reefer Share Posted July 14, 2010 I think I am infected with the cirrhilabrus fever liao. Cirrhilabrus is one of my favourite genus of all marine fish. my past 2 years of reef keeping have been focused on this genus and now i'm trying to source for the rarer ones like marjorie. Like digiman said, marjorie, roseafascia, pintail etc are the very rare ones but are still obtainable to some degree. there's a thrill in slowly hunting for them. you should start a collection of cirrhilabrus! their nuptial colours are amazing.

Yes the liopropoma was named wrongly on LA and has been named wrongly a couple of times. The fish is not L.Mitratum and it's still undescribed. Below is a rarer red-tail version: anyway i just told him if he can, try to enquire about the marjorie. if everything goes well, we should be able to see this fairy wrasse for the first time in Singapore in the next few months. U mux make sure he enquire, convince him there's a market for the fish here. If not your hope of seeing majorie here will never be realised. Anyway here are four interesting fishes: 1) macropharyngodon kuiteri 2) V rare stripeless melanopus clownfish from australia 3) ORA Jigsaw Maroon clown 4) shepardi (mango) angelfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Reefer yikai Posted July 14, 2010 Senior Reefer Share Posted July 14, 2010 some pictures of Cirrhilabrus marjorie to tickle your taste buds. i had a very rare photo of a wild picture of a harem of C. marjorie in the wild. 2 alpha males and 10+ females. i lost the pic unfortunately. that photo was very long ago and was way before it was even named as C. marjorie. back then it was still Cirrhilabrus sp. anyway,.. some other photos of such a nice fish. the alpha males are nice. i hope to see this fish in the next walt smith shipment. pray pray pray. and hope it won't be too expensive.
