OMG! Look at these hybrids and rare fishes!


Recommended Posts

LADD made a typo. it should be arquatus and not arguatus.

Suezichthys arquatus is a very rare wrasse from Australia and New Zealand.

It is cool water species and is very difficult to keep.

The males are very very beautiful and the pictures online do no justice. Kuier's book have very nice photos but i'll post some other day.

here's a male and female pic from google.

The genus Suezichthys boast of many VERY RARE and gaudily coloured males but almost all of them are very very very difficult to obtain. and i believe LADD's S. arquatus was the first. and they don't grow big too!

Female is nice also. But sadly it's a cold water species, not suitable for our tropical climate!

This weird hybrid is selling double the price of a standard rusty flame, at 600 in Japan.

Minus away the blue head and green back it has the look of the rusty flame. So i would say it may be a rusty flame x coral beauty. Hence a bit of flame angel blood.

Yes, the terelabrus sp. from maldive.

Why not? Does'nt have to be expensive livestock. If I had told them the pricing I guess they would have fainted. :D

Always something more important than fish.

does not seem special enough.

Google alpheus randalli and at least have 1 or 2 pure white ones.

i think the pure yellow and red ones more special!

Side and top views.
