Senior Reefer yikai Posted June 30, 2013 Senior Reefer Share Posted June 30, 2013 2 slightly aberrant butterflies. a misbar fremblii, and a marginalis with a weird orange extension in the middle bar, where it is supposed to be orange-less.

One thing i never really took note, the fremblii actually have a stripe on the dorsal spine.. Actually some marginalis actually show the orange extension, not so commonly seen..

aray Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Lemon, when we first seen those five peppermint in BH,the article in RB said they were 'put to sleep after 40 hours journey..'...what was meant by 'put to sleep'...is is just keeping them in shallow water-level so that they remain in sideway position or medication were applied..?

Hmm interesting. I am unaware of the procedure unfortunately. However there are Chemicals that can Sedate fishes for awhile, especially when doing Procedures such as swim bladder lancing. Perhaps they were sedated the same way to reduce stress? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terryz_ Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 i wonder if they hybridize with rostratus? Could be possible since both species are found in Aussie.. Quote Member of: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it should be the same as what they did for transporting large arowana.. The dosage must be accurate so as not to put the fish to sleep eternally.. Haha..

aray Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 on second thought perhaps there is a twist..i posted my idea in RB(i.e B and D are same fish..)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Reefer yikai Posted July 2, 2013 Senior Reefer Share Posted July 2, 2013 on second thought perhaps there is a twist..i posted my idea in RB(i.e B and D are same fish..)... i've attached the picture here for easy reference. B and D are quite similarly marked, but are not the same fish. B came into existence in 2008 and was sold to a japanese reefer, and it resides alone in an SPS tank. D is an old fish that has been kept for 3 years, but is now only making its appearance through this video. the picture above shows B and D both facing the left.

Senior Reefer yikai Posted July 2, 2013 Senior Reefer Share Posted July 2, 2013 Here are two more shots. first picture shows B facing right second picture shows D facing right. the markings are extremely similar, but yet different. unless you are suggesting that the markings somehow morph as the fish grows, which is remarkable and not entirely impossible!

Senior Reefer yikai Posted July 2, 2013 Senior Reefer Share Posted July 2, 2013 Aray, i think you are right. the fish are the same. they morph as they grow. the markings are too similar for a hybrid. i will mend the post now. thanks for pointing this out!

Senior Reefer yikai Posted July 2, 2013 Senior Reefer Share Posted July 2, 2013 yes thanks for your heads up, i would not have noticed it as well. the right side of the fish is similar and hasn't changed much, but the left side has morphed significantly! interesting growth pattern.
