Senior Reefer yikai Posted September 30, 2011 Senior Reefer Share Posted September 30, 2011 thanks bro eniram for sending me a video of Chaetodon paucifasciatus being sold in Taiwan. received a video showing 7 amazingly small (2 inch) specimens of paucifasciatus being sold in taiwan. i asked him to pack 2 back for me and hopefully can be done. i took a rather blur still photo from the video. as you can see some of them still have the black ocellatus at the soft dorsal fin, indicating juveniles. i have a pair from dejong marine that did not make it after a few months really devastated and heartbroken when they died for no reason. these fishes are almost unobtainable now, and only appear in super small numbers in very little shops around the world. now they retail for sky high prices too.
