OMG! Look at these hybrids and rare fishes!

[yikai]

just finished the article on this kingi story.

man that is one awesome fish but there was no reason why it shouldnt receive a tank for it's on to showcase its glory.

anyway the captive requirements of kingi is totally different from the other angels.

it prefers deeper, cooler and more peaceful tank.

that's the price to pay i guess, for people who want it all. sometimes they just end up losing it all.

He should sell off the rest of the angels, and just keep the kingji as the only center piece attraction!

Afterall, it's extremely difficult to get hold of one even u can offer the money...
