the priolepis and the potteri at the bottom looks stunning and different.

dun forget silicates, SiO3

lucky for me i dont like big fish in my tank so rubrimarginatus will be left there for me to admire and for others to buy.

never will i disregard rubrimarginatus from fiji anymore. so nice! this one. iwarna smometimes come such giant ones that are like almost 5 inch! huge.

think so.. sms never state date but hawaii shipments usually arrive on friday.

woah pornography is allowed in forums now? hehe

the first picture with the female takeuchii also have wrought irons in the background. but they showing frontal shots so cannot see the scales/

not a flying fish. dunno wat fish. coz the focus is on the wrought iron and of course, the colour is very striking compared to the dull monotonous takeuchii which is almost same colour as the background.

usually evening time will finish unpacking everything.

hawaii shipent iwarna. - Flavicauda angel - Lemonpeel hybrids - lemonpeel angel - Goldflake angel - Threadfin butterfly - Declivis butterfly - Achilles Tang - Chevron tang - Kole tang - Flame wrasse - Rhomboid wrasse - Psych head wrasse - Ventralis anthias strange. no yellow tangs, flame angels and bartletts?

Wild Cirrhilabrus lanceolatus.

wild dusky heraldi! so black in the wild!

female Genicanthus takeuchii and a partial shot of a male, being blocked by a Wrought iron butterflyfish (Chaetodon daedalma).

Roa modestus in the wild. the juvenile is so cute!

i love looking at wild pictures of fish. here's a wild Centropyge colini in it's typical upside down swimming style in which it commonly adopts.

dunno wat goby? looks unique.

omg the super rare but gorgeous Genicanthus semicinctus.

you mean coral farm at lane 6F LCK. not coral life and not CCK.

it comes in a little bottle with a dropper at the top i believe.

try RD.

pasir ris tends to be more "re-nao" during the end of the week. thursday - ah beng will have philippine shipment. the usual philippine fish, but will sometimes come interesting fishes like Liopropoma basslets, Genicanthus angels, very unique and rare Cirrhilabrus fairy wrasse and other seldom seen wrasses. you need a good eye and must be able to identify which are the gems amongst the common stuff. most of the time, rare fairy wrasses can be found, but they are usually in juvenile or female colouration and you must know how to differentiate them. i've found female melanomarginatus fairy wrasses before, as well as filament x flavianalis flasher wrasse hybrids. since philippine shipments include fishes from Cebu, one can find, if they are extremely lucky, the very rare pintail fairy wrasse, rusty x flame hybrid angelfish, yellow mask swallowtail angelfish, roseafascia fairy etc. rare fishes sometimes get shipped along by mistake and usually females appear only, since females look so similar to other more common fish. philippine shipments are common but extremely over looked. so if you pay attention to details, you will be heavily rewarded. and that's why i love to chiong philippine shipments. friday iwarna also will have philippine shipment. although they don't carry liopropoma basslets and rare fairy wrasse, they often carry uncommon fishes like venustus and multibar angels in small sizes like 2 inch. colinis are a rare find but sometimes available. sought after fishes lik flavoguttatus anthias, uncommon fairy wrasses from cebu and other weird gobies and dartfishes are the cool kids at the party! so philippine shipments can be a riot if you know what to look out for and can be even more exciting than hawaii shipments and the like!
