OMG! Look at these hybrids and rare fishes!

no you should let him buy.

coz i always end up buying from him. i'm his dumping ground.

which is good coz the time he gets bored with it is usually enough time for me to save money and get it from him. haha.

in a way he's holding the fish for me before LFS sells it!

good good.

LOL.. But must see what kind of fish mah... I cant believe he bought a Hanae...

the male is so so so so beautiful. i showed it to my mum and she instantly said SO CUTE!

she doesn't really like fish so this is like very rare.

then i told her it cost $10-12k. and i think you can guess her reaction.

The female is nice too, pure white (with a light tinge of blue) with minimal black markings put the bandit to shame.

Below are two pics of a female in the japanese tank. Second pic shows it side by side with a v rare butterfly.

Yes it's an unknown hybrid, and a v nice one. But think it died already. The tank has a plethora of other rare fishes, like aurora anthias, big group of ventralis, golden hamlet, debelius angel etc.

[Digiman]

Lemon and Terry, how are your blue-eyed goby? They remind me of the rare carribbean sabre goby, only tat blue eye is $6 each while sabre goby more than $2000 each.

I know what hybrid it is liao.

it's an extremely rare hybrid of Chaetodon tinkeri and Chaetodon milliaris.

In Hawaii, tinkeri will VERY rarely hybridise with miliaris. I've read about this hybridisation in my angel book and on certain websites. it's very rare and no pictures so far.

if you look at the photos of tinkeri and miliaris, you will see that the hybrid has both parent's features. the spots, the shape, etc.

so amazing that two completely diff butterflies from diff subgenus can hybridise.

there's also one featured in waikiki aquarium.

male-female ratio 5:1
