OMG! Look at these hybrids and rare fishes!

[yikai]

Couldn't agree more. :wub:

Both can be obtained via Aussie shipments.

But Lennardi is only available from west australia. West Australia fishes are very very difficult almost impossible to obtain, because there's no shipments from there. They don't want to collect fish.

Femininus can be obtained from east Australia, tonga, Fiji, Vanuatu etc. They have a wide Range but very difficult to catch and keep alive. Only saw it once from LCK but a reefer bought it but unfortunately died.

Wow I dunno wat this! It could be a Lennardi but the anal fins look different. Photo also not very clear.

The blue lined pattern also looks abut diff.

But the colourful is same.

So without clearer images I dun dare to confirm the ID

If he got it at a halichoeres price then he is lying or it's not a Lennardi. Coz There is only a few Lennardi in the market and it won't be anyhow sold

that's why i was wondering. aussie reefer, this was few years back. and got wrasse grand master hiroyuki tanaka to comment on the pic :

Dear Tim,

Thanks for the pic.

It seems an intermidiate pattern, nearly male, of Anampses lennardi, but it is interesting in having closer lines on side. Females have yellow dorsal and dark ###### fins.

Could you ask the customer to photograph more of its full length of body? And keep me informed, please.

All The Best, Hiroyuki

[yikai]

Ah yes Hiroyuki tanaka. A good friend of mine from japan and is an expert on wrasses.

If he said it's a Lennardi then it is. Intermediate phase male

Sailfin Anthias. Exact species i dunno, cos sailfin anthias is a poorly known genus!

Nice fish and can be found in philippines and vanuatu.

[Digiman]

This is the exact piece of Conspic x Meredithi hybrid LCK was able to get.

Today i jux found out the price was to be sold for >5k. Lucky steven din bring in, cos i cant see who will buy this fish!

Anyway it is now in Japan and still unsold, as it is probably selling even higher there.

[Digiman]

Do u see wat i see in the pic below?

Such small size (1.5 inches only) and a pair is one of the rarest thing u can obtain in a Hawaii shipment!

[Digiman]

My new year resolution!

omg v v rare to get bandits this size and two summore!

obtainaning both will be a stunning duo!

My new year resolution!

obtainable.

we will get it next year.

[Digiman]

The conspic x meredithi is indeed ugly. Tat's why steven din bring in, cos at 5k+ how to sell the fish? Who willing to buy when they dun even know wat the fish is!

[yikai]

no one will know its a conspic x meredithi hybrid.

not many ppl know wat a meredithi angel is and the hybrid looks too conspic like with not much other details. so ppl will just say it's a pure conspic that looks a bit funny.

point of the story, it's a v v ugly and unpopular hybrid that even i show no interest and dun know much about. but it's certainly v v rare and any angel or rare fish collector worth their salt will consider getting it.
