Digiman Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 Pauci butterfly again in Japan. They sell for only S$300 or 18000 yen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digiman Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 Loook too similar to a tryssogobius to pay $500 for it... They are found 10x deeper and only in Japan water. That's why more expensive. But small gobies like these at 500, i agree too expensive to pay for that short lifespan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Reefer yikai Posted October 30, 2011 Senior Reefer Share Posted October 30, 2011 Pauci butterfly again in Japan. They sell for only S$300 or 18000 yen! VERY expensive considering it's a common red sea butterflyfish in the wild. compare with the other red sea fish price. semilarvatus <$100 mesoleucos <$100 purple tang <$100 sohal tang < to ~ $100 red sea regal i don't know coz too many years never see red sea banner fish < $100 red sea flasher wrasse < $100 paucifasciatus $300!? i'd still buy it though.

As a reference, the japanese pay S$220 for semilarvatus and S$260 for a medium size asfur, so when they pay S$300 for the pauci it's considered v cheap and to them not a fish so rare that the price is overly high.

Senior Reefer yikai Posted October 30, 2011 Senior Reefer Share Posted October 30, 2011 Small pic of a reticulatus blenny not a very impressive looking species but as far as rarity goes, one of the more difficult to obtain meiacanthus.

Digiman Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 not a very impressive looking species but as far as rarity goes, one of the more difficult to obtain meiacanthus. It has always been one of my favourite due to its slight resemblance to the kamoharai blenny but it has less black. It is extremely rare. Dejong ones were the last and only time i heard of and had any chance of obtaining. Thereafter no more news. Not enough pics and info on the net, nothing. V rarely collected blenny.

Senior Reefer yikai Posted October 30, 2011 Senior Reefer Share Posted October 30, 2011 a good picture of an unidentified angelfish from bali. it is not a tigerpyge. anyone can guess what it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eniram Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 It's got blue highlights like a eibli, colour of a lemon peel plus Groucho? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Reefer yikai Posted October 30, 2011 Senior Reefer Share Posted October 30, 2011 it's found in bali. what i'm thinking is it's a hybrid between an eibli and the indian ocean cocos island lemonpeel that rarely waifs there. but there's somthing else special about it. it resembles the undescribed angelfish centropyge cf. eibli from australia, rowley shoals. john coppolino say it has vrolikii blood in it though, so it's a tri-hybrid.

Digiman Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 found where? fishbase say coral sea region .

"Lemon, the dark shading from the caudal fin goes pretty far anteriorly... which I've only ever seen on fish with input from vrolikii... like the flavissima/ vrolikii hybrids from the central Pacific... with where this fish is from I wouldn't be surprised if the parents of this fish are a Christmas Island (Indian Ocean) lemonpeel and a vrolikii/ eibli hybrid... which is entirely possible..." - copps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But from what he describe, it does looks like a tri hybrid... Quote Member of: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
