Some affordable and beautiful fish. pictilis anthias, blackburn butterfly and mask goby.

Its not a hybrid, but an aberration.

Yes bellae goby is really a.gorgeous species with lovely pinky maroon color. I need one!!!

Can keep in normal reef temp. LADD and route 66 sold before and is easy.

We can get but its way too ex to ship a few direct. Unless we order a big japan shipment. But most of the time they don't have enough stuff to make a big shipment.

3cm baby V. bellae!! dream fish. alpha male lunatus fairy wrasse pair. this species is very variable in coloration.

kevin kohen's roseafascia fairy and tigris blenny. and his super gorgeous bengal cat...fish!

another hypo or amelanistic flame

ohhh gorgeous!!! the tail abit off, but it's still a beautiful fish.

hawaiian flames shot in the wild in kona and kauai. look at how much redder they are. the fish channel recently came a true hawaiian flame which was so pretty.

a nice flame with v little, almost no stripes in an aquarium. and a gorgeous shepardi in the wild!

this is a moderately block bar flame from the wild that i prefer.

a tailless flame..

what an extremely blocked bar flame!

i'm a big fan of these peninsular style minimalist scaped tanks. very open and zen concept. with more coral growth and some plating SPS or turbinaria, and your tank will look even more spectacular! good job with the slow stocking and choice of fish too.

since we're on the topic, here's an old collage of all the obtainable prognathodes. LiveAquaria has brought in all the obtainable prognathodes, even Guyanensis x aya. the only one out of their reach so far has been basabei.

these are the best images of the two species in the wild.

Rare fish alert!! Juvenile scythe butterflyfish photographed few months ago in catalina island. gorgeous! and st paul rocks native, Prognathodes obliquus.

double post.

a couple of unusual and rather beautiful tinker hybrids last month. the yellow on the crown may not be big, but at least there is no black.

v rare tricinctus butterfly at snorkeling depth in lord howe! less than 1-2 m deep.

Cebu Pylei wrasses. used to be uncommon but nowadays even more common than the regular pylei wrasse. Rare blackfoot lionfish. CF sometimes bring this in. i think i've seen at least 2-3 to date. an almost "latezonatus" ocellaris! a very yellow scopas from philippines.

hybrid bicolor angel? the yellow and blue bicolor angel? there has only been one documented hybrid of a bicolor angel in the world. do you mean Centropyge vrolicki? the half black/pearl scale angel. those often hybridize with lemonpeels and eibli angelfish.

guyanensis is such a gorgeous fish. i had the chance to see 2 small (2.5 inch) specimens in blueharbor the last time i visited Koji. it is so beautiful, but i wish they were more affordable.

these images were taken from fishbase, and were photographed in India where they were sold as food fish.
