My Bleekers from another mother! Pseudocoris bleekeri and Chrysiptera bleekeri.

found these 2 puppies in coral farm today and i HADDD TO HAVE them.

the bleeker's pseudocoris wrasse here is a male.

last year i bought a male from ah beng which, over the year or so, slowly turned into a female. it's drab, pale blue.

for a long time i wanted to sell it because it has become so unattractive over time as a female, but yet secretly hoping to find another male for it. the time have come and now the pair is in my display and my gosh the male looks stunning when it displays.

all the body becomes electric blue and the black and yellow stands out so much!

the bleeker's damsel is like a rather unusual cousin of the starki damsel. i've only seen it less than 5 times here and each time in small numbers. it's more purplish than blue and the colours are not so stark (pun intended). but i like the subdued pastel-ness of the bleeker's damselfish compared to starki.

i find it funny how i've stumbled upon two "bleekers" in one sitting, both of which on my want list for quite sometime now.

The bleekeri damsel is now part of my growing pomacentrus collection which includes Chrysiptera cf springeri, C. rollandi, C. caeruleolineata, C. traceyi, Chromis nigrura and C. acares.

oh really? it's not a deepwater pipefish?

i remember seeing one video if it in very deep water but maybe they can be found in shallow water too.

the bleerkeri is beautiful. i think the colours will stay with all the other damsels constantly playing with each other.

Yap not deep. But according to dejong, it's v sensitive and like all other pipefishes, hard to keep alive.

and a very rare aberrant rock beauty!!

the black has taken over the whole fish! stunning!

this kind of aberrations will not likely revert to normal because it's not xanthic or tricolor morphs, but rather, a colour aberration like the purple purple tang and the purple spot firefish.

meiacanthus reticulatus.

i want this!

Ah one of my favourite. Was close to getting it from Dejong but it was sold out.

There are almost no pics on the net. I've a few more pics of reticulatus but need to search my older laptop for the photo.
