OMG! Look at these hybrids and rare fishes!


Recommended Posts

why is gardinier so ex!?

$400 is crazy!

selene nicer. the oblique rows of yellow is very unique!

Cos it's rare, in fact v hard to obtain. Not even sure wat kind of shipment can get gardner. I believe probably red sea (egypt source) or africa shipment.

red sea and gulf of aden. but sri lanka also have.

not very deep water. 15m-91m but fishbase list around 20m.

shouldnt be as ex as $400 omg.

selene can be found in indonesia. 20m-50m according to fishbase.

but also never see them here.

here's dr. tanaka's 5cm selene.

cheap and very hardy according to him. eats everything including flakes.

4th most common genicanthus, is

Genicanthus watanabei.

we are now bordering on the rare-zone for this genus.

hwo to differentiate male and female?

very obvious!

i understand keeping a pair is the most ideal...

but will keeping a lone Male cause it to change to female in the long run?

keeping a pair may not even be ideal!

sometimes males will still undergo reverse sex change back to females even when kept in a pair.

artificially formed pairs from lfs usually do not work. that is why the best way to get a male and retain the male is to get a group of females and let one of the female sex change into a male. the social interaction and heirachy status is solid and cemented this way.

keeping a single male will 100% revert back to female.

the only thing is when.

sometimes immediately after a few days, or sometimes after a few weeks.

however, sometimes if you keep just one female, the female will sex change into a male as it dominates every other fish in the tank. that's the only way you can get a male without keeping it with a female.

be prepared to wait years.

the U.S people can't even get them because of the embargo with Cuba. most specimens make it to japan and europe.
