it's not the amikami goby but it's very beautiful nonetheless! callogobius is a huge genus with tons of brown and similar looking fishes. ID-ing it is very tough!

olive dottyback is not beautiful. infact it's quite ugly but ok la it's rather unique. it's rare in the trade because its a red sea endemic and since there's no red sea shipments, there's no olive dottybacks. however nowadays red sea shipment getting more popular again so we're seeing them as well. liveaquaria was suppose to post another male up on diver's den but somehow it didn't show up.

are the excelsa and basabei new!?

liopropoma evides from LADD! as well as the very rare olivaceus anthias.

beautiful scribbled auriga!

very nice pair of pauci butterflies.

holy grail belonoperca pylei.

if you study the life cycle of various protozoan disease like white spots etc, 2 weeks is no where near enough time to eradicate the disease. this is not considered quarantine, but more of holding and acclimation. it's still better than nothing as the fish are healthier etc. but that doesn't mean it is disease free.

some of the LFS do "quarantine" their fish but not strict enough to kill off every single disease. such LFS do exists and their stock are much healthier. sealife doses copper and ah bak does holding before sales but bear in mind, absolute quarantine is a tedious process and must be done diligently for a minimum of 6 weeks. unless the LFS quarantine for 6 weeks, it is not considered full quarantine and the fishes, although much healthier than other LFS, will still carry some disease that does not show out yet. no LFS can possibly hold the fish and quarantine them for that long. it's the buyer's job to quarantine your own fish. for the record, i've seen white spots in every single LFS in singapore so far. even top notch state of the art facilities in the U.S like liveaquaria, who supposedly quarantine their fishes for months before putting up on sale, also have some cases where fish have white spots. it's not easy to quarantine on such large scales when it comes to lfs. because so many different fish with different habits and so many different kinds of diseases out there. but on an individual at home level, it can be done much easily and effectively. hope this helps.

Ecsenius opsifrontalis

cutest ocellaris ever

another flashing chromis and amikami goby

ALL LFS here in singapore do not quarantine their fish before it is put up for sale. this means that fish from ALL LFS will habor disease wether or not you can see it. the only exception is coral farm. they have a holding room where fish are stored temporarily before putting out for sale. however this is not quarantine and fish sold still habor disease. but the fish from there is very much healthier.

yup flavicauda new. this lemon hybrid also new? where from?

truckload of rarities at liveaquaria

very seldom seen but even liveaquaria had them recently!

oh i love galaxy corals. highly underrated, very cool coral. but deadly

so happy to see my rusty flame so happy in your hands. and so happy that it worked out and there is no more fighting.

ultra rare lunula triggerfish and golden angel pair

you make this seem like you are right and it's a wise choice to put 10 fishes inside a 1 ft cube, including two angel species from the apolemichthys genus.

very nice!

also a feminine wrasse on b box

i was hoping for ballina videos too but don't have. his youtube channel only have vids of mcullochi, conspics and a female semicinctus.
