OMG! Look at these hybrids and rare fishes!

[yikai]

I'm so jealous of snorvich from RC.

he has a pair of johnsoni and a pair of earlei which brian greene has caught for him from twilight aquatics. why dont we have such luck

[yikai]

this is his pintail from DD too.

[yikai]

a pair of feminine wrasses. male on left and female on right in the bags. very blur.

another pic of a female below. i want this so badly!

[yikai]

roseafascia in the wild. i want mine to grow up like this.

but this wrasse is seriously aggressive. comparable to scotts and pylei!

my marjorie is constantly switching back from male to female because of the roseafascia. it was male, then female, then male and now, becoming female again. despite the other females, it's no use. the roseafascia's assertion is too strong.

[yikai]

DD just offered this for sales!

burgess butterfly is the most common of the 5 Roaops sub genus.

they can be commonly found here in singapore but small ones are very very hard to find.

the pair for sale at DD is 3.5 and 4 inches. huge if you ask me.

Digiman, i got this email from Glassbox design.

Hi Lemon,

I wanted to thank you for pointing out P. rubrolineatus. Despite it staring me, and many prominent Japanese fish collectors, writers and publishers in the face, the species slipped through the cracks! I've since discussed this species with Tetsuo Otake and Kiyoshi Endoh and they have confirmed. It was previously unknown in the Japanese market, and likely would have gone so for sometime without your observation.

Here's an excerpt from the message I received:

"Pseudanthias rubrolineatus is officially founded in Japan,

and named as "イトヒキコハクハナダイ, Itohikikohaku hanadai"in Japanese

last month.

Therefore, it is P. rubrolineatus!"

Thanks for always keeping me on my toes!

Best,

Eric

seriously what's the difference between Pseudanthias pulcherrimus....

...and Pseudanthias randalli?

[Digiman]

lol so ugly!

Hmm ugly? Holanthias unimaculatus is deepwater and v v rare from Japan, one of the rarest anthias from Japan local waters like pseudanthias rubrolineatus. The Japanese are paying more than 1.5k for a live one. It's unfair to say it's ugly fish as the one in pic is not healthy and is breaking down. A better pic of a healthy fish in a LFS for sale
