OMG! Look at these hybrids and rare fishes!

[FuEl]

not intersted wat. wat u wan me to do? you told me it was a bodianus sp anyway.

Nope I did not say. If you jump to conclusions yourself you can't blame me. I already said I have not seen this fish before. I kept fish for over 2 decades and would I not know if it was a bodianus?

[Terryz_]

Yes, nice. Offer someone at cost and even offer to deliver to him. Since he's not interested I'll let them off.

Should not have caught the fish in the first place!

[Digiman]

omg catching a bodianus masudai?? can't see properly. maybe not lah.

It's the rare and deep true Bodianus Opercularis (also sometimes known as Bodianus Neoopercularis).

someone in netherlands owns a pair of G. dejongi! omgsh so pretty. it's very yellow! much yellower than i expected.

Too yellow, a little more orangy will be nicer.

Yet another beautiful colour variant of CB. Here's another pic of the blue tiger (Mauritian CB):

[Digiman]

This is what was sold at Reborn... I thought it might be another Powder Black with Orange tail variant which was commonly found in indo shipment..

But when I reached home, I could see the red at the edge of the dorsal fin and then I thought I might have gotten a Achilles X Powder Black...

Wow, nice specimen!

I would love to add a PBT into my tank in the future too

Many had advise me to put it in as the last fish.... so probably a long way to go....

[yikai]

after close to 2 years of searching, i finally saw one with my own 2 eyes today. a Chaetodon semeion at CF.

at 6 inch, too big for me *sob*

an uncommon fish in the wild, covers a wide range but with sporadic populations, mostly living individually and occasionally in pairs.

even rarer in the trade and my first time seeing one after hunting for sooo long!! in fact i would not have saw it until CF aunty told me they had a "golden butterfly". don't recall them having red sea shipments. one look at the bright blue forehead gave it away. till now i'm still thinking about it.

It is very greedy one... Last fish becos of the aggressiveness? No problem for me becos this is probably the only tang in my tank... Get a small ones, they will be easier to feed than bigger ones...

If there is a first time, there will always be a second time... LOL..

[yikai]

according to aunty, this is not the first time they bring in. but she said it's very very very rare. so rare until i've only seen it once.

no lah. i said i've only seen it once. CF brought in more than once before. but selling at 3.8 red notes before discount. zz

make it sound so cheap.

this fish is actually one of those sian kind. they are only very beautiful when they are 6 inch and above. that's when the brilliant blue forehead and filament will start to show.

anything below that size will just look like a latticed butterfly.

Buy it as your show fish lor.. Just a pair.. LOL.. What is 6 inch compared to your 42 inch tank?

once the rocks go in, the 42 inch will look very much smaller.

i don't really like big fishes. it makes the tank look kinda clumsy. and semeion is very beautiful, but not showfish standard.

haha. i still want to try my moorish idol again. record was 6 months before it died after i gave it away.

If the scaping is right.. It is still quite spacious for the fishes..

No selection for showfish yet? I still deciding thou...

[yikai]

haven decided too

if a moorish idol isn't show stopping enough, then i'll have to think of something else.

don't worry. with my Chelmon marginalis and Coradion altivelis coming, there won't be a shortage of showfish anytime soon

i change my mind! kena poisoned by you. apparently they are one of the safer butterflies along the league of copperband. the name is really nice! altivelis is latin for sail-fin i think.

But they are not one of the easier feeding ones?

[yikai]

quite easy according to books and internet sources.

Haha ya C.Altivelis is imo one of the nicest sail-fin type butterfly. But too bad i wan to keep a C.Pausifaciatus or C.Daedelma instead.

[Digiman]

quite easy according to books and internet sources.

C.Altivelis is v easy to keep and feed. The pic is not altivelis but the rarer Coradion chrysozonus.
