OMG! Look at these hybrids and rare fishes!


Recommended Posts

PIA has a new crosshatch x bluethroat hybrid.

this one is even nicer than the liveaquaria one because more bluethroat characteristics can be observed at the mouth area!

Wow this one is magnificent cos can clearly see the hybrid traits unlike the previous.

i agree. the previous one looked very crosshatch.

this one has alot of blue on the mouth which makes it stand out more as a hybrid. very nice!

THIS is the NICEST, COOLEST clownfish YOU will EVER see. Do not argue with this post. You will lose. (j/k, everyone's entitled to their own opinion).

Check out the uber cool copperband-esque stripes at the back. And what's this? It has a helmet, a cape and a shield? clownfish of the year.

The peppermint at waikiki. Kept in the same tank as abei angel.

It is quite sad to see the fish kept in such a bright tank and filled with other fishes like the coris venusta that keeps showing it aggression. Even the abei is showing aggression to the peppermint. It is reported that the peppermint is not feeding enough and has shown some sores on its body.

IMO the peppermint should have gotten a peaceful deepwater tank all to itself. even if the peppermint was healthy and adjusted to this tank, i would still put it by itself. mixing two angelfish gods together somehow cheapen the fish and make it look commonplace.

one god per tank should allow the rarity to shine.

:thumbdown: Jeeze... leave the peppermint alone...

i agree, but i trust waikiki knows what they're doing. although it seems bad now, it's probably temporary as the peppermint was just introduced into the tank minutes before the video was taken. some form of aggression is to be expected.

also the peppermint has been in quarantine for a few months now and is probably fit for release. the bright lights could be dimmed though, but in no time, the peppermint angel will get used to it just like the abei angel which also lives in great depths and dimness.

the lady voicing over the video is the curator for waikiki and she says she's going to remove the wrasse and there will be another peppermint coming in.

It did not make it. Feeds sparingly but still become very thin. Suspected internal parasites or may be velvet as there is also signs of heavy breathing.

ooo sorry to hear. at least it wasn't very expensive. even the ones going for sale on LADD are very reasonably priced.
