LCK shipment is in already.

got very alpha condei wrasse.

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

Marjories in LCK were in excellent condition. The biggest one was very nice but looked quite stressed.

the other 3 were in the pink of health. *picture of marjorie fairy wrasse below

Kudos for steven in LCK for being the first person in Singapore to import this very rare fijian endemic. We certainly hope to see more of these wrasses in the future.

still have many rhomboids, tail spot blennies, Cirrhilabrus condei, cortez lunar wrasse, etc..

CF has a very uncommon female Genicanthus caudovittatus. A swallowtail angel appearing only from the region of Red sea and is very uncommon. This is my first time seeing this fish here. Too bad it wasn't a male otherwise would have bought it. To the untrained eyes, males of this species look very similar to the super common male Genicanthus melanospilos. The former being much rarer and much nicer.

Lemon u got any pic of tis angel?

first picture of a male, second picture is the female of Genicanthus caudovittatus

the one available in CF is female. if you have the patience, you can make it morph into a male by pitting it's aggression against other smaller genicanthus sp.

Do not confuse the angelfish above with this angelfish.

Genicanthus melanospilos. this is very common and found very easily. CF has a magnificent pair, one male and one female. and also a single male.

how to differentiate? females are very different of these two species. but the males are similar. G. melanospilos has a black dot on it's breast while G. caudovittatus does not. G. melanospilos also lacks the thick black line on the dorsal fin which G. cuadovittatus posesses.

anyway let's not off topic.

also 2 large female genicanthus bellus. aka the bellus or the ornate angelfish.

buying both and adding them together will enable one to turn male, provided they don't fight.

the genus genicanthus (swallowtail angelfishes), are very beautiful and very very very reefsafe (there are freak exceptions). males of this genus are very very uncommon and very difficult to acclimate. females are common and less colourful.

i'm still undecided to go Jireh or LCK201 during my lunch break... hee now at work...

went to JM today, nothing much... and then to LCK201, got a royal gamma, gave up the peppermint shrimp becuase couldn't agree on the price. saw some tangs, ducans, octopus corals and some xenia (i think so becos the china worker doesn't seem to know anything except for the livestock prices ..

The blue powdered tangs at coral farm look extremely healthy with great coloring and are already feeding on pellets. I got 1 for near 3 red notes.

LCK 201 have a tank full of yellow tangs mid and large size. Got 1 for 4 red notes.

Precisely, PBT was never in my plan at all. But the batch was so irresistable.... Their flame looks awesome too.
