Groot Vis Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Wouldn't they fetch much more out of the ATs if they sell them for captivity? Thy do not have export or collecting permits so this way thy can make money of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Reefer yikai Posted July 9, 2013 Senior Reefer Share Posted July 9, 2013 some rarities at LADD recently. Prognathodes brasiliensis - Brazil longnose butterfly. I love this fish, but recently getting very rare. I hope to keep one one day. Paracheilinus rubricaudalis - Red-tailed flasher wrasse. A beautiful flasher wrasse from vanuatu and fiji. Used to be very common whenever vanuatu/walt smith shipment come. but recent lack of vanuatu shipment has made this fish absent in singapore. Festucalex gibbsi - Gibb's pipehorse. this is for the seahorse and oddball fans. Liopropoma africanum - African reef basslet. A beautiful, hardy and small basslet perfect for reef tanks. But it is rare and comes with an expensive price tag. Digiman has one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
