a v tiny juv colini. v rare size but will probably still die. super difficult fish

[Digiman]

a v amazing tank.

a pair of golden and colini angels both feeding greedily on pellets.

This does not happen in reality. They must be robot fish. Do not be fooled.

true hawaiian flame angel at Japanese LFS.

super red.

[Groot Vis]

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

[Bubber]

Thanks for the insight guys..I understand better now..but it still hurts to see so many gorgeous AT killed..

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.

[ACCK]

Africanum seems stuck there for some time even at lowered price. Under appreciated..

Not new. Sometime ago in Japan.

these images were taken from fishbase, and were photographed in India where they were sold as food fish.

Awesome .Time we get some in.

guyanensis is such a gorgeous fish. i had the chance to see 2 small (2.5 inch) specimens in blueharbor the last time i visited Koji. it is so beautiful, but i wish they were more affordable.

[yikai]

Cebu Pylei wrasses. used to be uncommon but nowadays even more common than the regular pylei wrasse.

Rare blackfoot lionfish. CF sometimes bring this in. i think i've seen at least 2-3 to date.

an almost "latezonatus" ocellaris!

a very yellow scopas from philippines.

LiveAquaria has brought in all the obtainable prognathodes, even Guyanensis x aya. the only one out of their reach so far has been basabei.
