Johan Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Redsea shipment in HK. So many rare stuff. Wild bicinctus pair, redsea regals, 2" to 3" pauci butterflies What a nice pictures indeed! After 36 hours w\swimming in low PH, high urine in the water and at complete dark undergoing shock and stress. Take the fish from the bag, put it in your hand out of the water and F L A S H .. the camera. Are we forgotten that a fish eye is 11 times more sensitive than the human.. O well, it is only a fish right.........And once paid for it you OWN that fish life ,right??? To be frank with all you hobbyist.... This would NEVER happen in Europe or the USA It is a habit among Chinese only!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would NEVER happen in Europe or the USA It is a habit among Chinese only!! actually, there are some photos of people taking photos of fishes out of the water from the U.S and europe, believe it or not. although not as much as asians do and majority of out of water photographs are taken in taiwan, hong kong and japan. i agree it doesn't do the fish good and it's bad. but that's just the way things work out in asia.

Johan Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I guess most asian countries are having the Chaetodon paucifasciatus except ours huh..... It can be obtained from Aquarmarine in Sri Lanka... the foremost exporter of Sri Lanka . Andy always has been having Red Sea items, even when the entire region was closed. I know MAJOR importers that buy from him...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digiman Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 I guess most asian countries are having the Chaetodon paucifasciatus except ours huh..... Every three or four months or so we see many redsea shipments. And almost every LFS in singapore bring in redsea shipment. They will send us all butterflies like mesoleucos, semilarvatus and larvatus, except for pauci. That's extremely annoying. But never mind, there are rarer fishes i'm looking for that never appear here, so pauci is just one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pseudanthias heemstrai Pseudanthias taeniatus Paracheilinus octotaenia Cirrhilabrus blatteus Chaetodon paucifasciatus Ecsenius gravieri Apolemichthys xanthotis and there's still tons more in terms of blennies, gobies and other fishes that we are unfamiliar with!

If one day the whole world tell the red sea collectors we don't want purple tang anymore! Den perhaps it will force them to start hunting for the fishes above.

Digiman Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 Not forgetting the pseudochromis springeri...missed the chance when I saw it. I prefer pseudochromis sankeyi. But both springeri and sankeyi have been captive bred. But no LFS wants to bring in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one day the whole world tell the red sea collectors we don't want purple tang anymore! Den perhaps it will force them to start hunting for the fishes above. jeremy - springer can get from ORA. i want Pseudochromis sankeyi is another one from the red sea that is gorgeous and rare. captive bred ones are available but we're not able to get them for now. sadly. fuel was breeding them succesfully but dunno wt happened now. the problem with the fishes above is that some like heemstrai are not within collection range. so they don't want to collect. and Cirrhilabrus blatteus is deep water fairy wrasse. but if people are diving deeper in the philippines, vanuatu and other areas to collect, why not the red sea too? i've always wondered.

Senior Reefer yikai Posted October 2, 2011 Senior Reefer Share Posted October 2, 2011 the spectacular purple head helfrichi firefish from cook islands. do you know these can grow to as large as 4 inches? much bigger than the normal helfrichi gobies. and here's an interesting fact. when the helfrichi firefish was first described back in the 1970's, the very first specimen documented and described was this purple head variant. this was the original helfrichi firefish that was described to science. the normal yellow head ones that we receive from marshall islands is a variation. since the type species for helfrichi is the purple head ones. who knows? the two could be different species just not distinguished yet.

Senior Reefer yikai Posted October 2, 2011 Senior Reefer Share Posted October 2, 2011 this is an extremely juvenile conspic. how did this guy get into an aquarium? well, some random hobbyist was snorkeling trying to catch a seaperch. but the perch went to hide under an urchin and when he removed the urchin, he found this tiny angelfish there. but he went to catch his seaperch first and then went back to catching the tiny conspic.
