OMG! Look at these hybrids and rare fishes!

Pseudanthias ventralis ventralis in the wild.

beautiful and rare toby.

Canthigaster solandri

ULTRA RARE HYBRID.

male Genicanthus semifasciatus X Genicanthus takeuchii

We've seen the juvenile, and females of this hybrid. but this is now the male.

not nice. just rare.

[peacemaker]

this one is equally white.

go submit to reefbuilders lah haha.

Lol, same source lah, bro! Personally, I do find the white one nicer. Now the headache is how to pair them all up.

[Digiman]

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

It's nothing about the price. White pistol randalli is not exactly something rare, it has appeared on and off and some thot it's a new alpheus species but at the end it's jux a "paler" randalli tat's all. Like the black stripes of flame angels is highly variable, the white of the randalli is also v variable. But i now using that as a comparison i kind of understand why RB wans to post the white randalli, cos if a flame angel has slightly irregular or weird stripes pattern, we'll be equally fascinated.

Ya but dunno why never bring in before. It's not a rare or expensive fishes. And it stops at 6" so not too big either.

Tosanoides flavofasciatus in video.

Not sure if this is in the wild or in a tank.

Blotchy anthias (Odantanthias borbonius) and Tosanoides flavofasciatus in the wild!

and a very rare pipefish also.

Too bad Tosanoides anthias are so rare and so expensive... They are one of the most beautiful anthias around...

In the wild, Japan water, v deep.

Tosanoides is unobtainable. Those tat hav appeared in Japan are all juvi and can count with one hand. It's so deep and only juvi can handle the decompression well. Price is almost 5k for a juvi!!

We hav our cheaper and readily available "tosanoide", the sunburst anthias.

Tosanoides will always remain a dream.

why u sy sunburst is a tosanoides?

shape isit?

I should say sunburst is a tosanoide substitute. The juvi tosanoide look a bit like a v pale sunburst.

Is n't the body shape v similar to sunburst? But of course a sunburst is still a sunburst and cannot compare to the tosanoides.

yes esp the juvenile sunbursts.

more obscenely beautiful photos of Tosanoides filamentosus and T. flavofasciatus.

the last photo with an alpha male Pseudanthias flavoguttatus.

[peacemaker]

Indeed the most beautiful Anthias...

Indeed the most beautiful Anthias...

very very stunning but impossible to obtain.

unless you willing to pay 5k for a tiny 1-2cm transparent juvenile. but then again the numbers that came in were less than the number of fingers on my one hand!

The US pple are so lucky to get these fishes AGAIN!

Rusty flame and flavo x burgess hybrid.

is that tinker x burgessi or flavocoronatus x burgessi?

i can never quite tell the difference since all so similar looking.

i thought both hybrids look the same as flavo and tinkeri just imparts the yellow colour on burgess's double crowns. one on eye and one on the nape.

Nobody knows, cos flavo and tinker and burgess has interbreed at the marshall islands. So the blood has been all mixed up. So let's jux call it burgess hybrid. Or if u wan more classy name, call it flavo hybrid.

i like burgess hybrids because of the yellow eye band.

the yellow-black crown on the head is not so much fantastic, but those yellower ones really look akin to flavocoronatus.

actually there are yellow-eye band burgess in some parts of the world where burgess does not meet tinkeri or flavocoronatus. it's a very rare variant. this also however means that the black band on the head is super black since it's not a hybrid, just a variant.

i like.
