OMG! Look at these hybrids and rare fishes!


Recommended Posts

yes that is the selling point for hawaiian flame angels.

no orange. not lesser. is no orange at all.

it's pure red

It's good to note that xmas flames can also be as red and having thinner black stripes as the rarer hawaii ones.

So it is rare but can be indistinguishable from some v red xmas flames.

yes.

all haiiwan flames are super blood red.

but not all blood red flames are found in hawaii. some can be found in xmas etc.

remember mine?

but mine now turn to normal flame angel color already. orange-ish.

even emperor angels too.

not only xmas island emperor have orange tail. the orange tail is just a variation that can appear in any emperor in any part of it's range. just that for xmas island, the population of orange tail is higher.

I think diet plays an important role in keeping the color red.

Orange carmabi can turn deep red in captivity given a red-color enhancing cyclopeeze diet.

So perhaps the red flame and deep orange clarion can be retained with a protein and cyclopeeze heavy diet.

These aussie rabau sp. were available at BH some months ago and sold for 400 each. I cant tell the species difference as it looks identical to those we get from philippines but coming from aussie they command a much higher price.

Recently those rare fishes, Pauci butterfly and semifasicatus angels to be exact, are appearing in great numbers all of a sudden.

Really weird why they are missing for so many years and suddenly reappearing.
