OMG! Look at these hybrids and rare fishes!

[Digiman]

Since we are on the anthias topic.

Here is a v healthy Odontanthias Unimaculatus (only from Japan) kept for over a year by a japanese.

Here is a full grown fuscipinnis anthias! This one is as big as the waikiki one and it has the mean baddie look which is what makes me fall in love with the genus.

Chrysostictus at BH got an updated shot in its new system.

Most likely. If not some where in north western side of hawaii where personatus occurs at regular scuba depth.

Nope the pair available to us through M3 was sold and taken, but not to any one of us here, so we have no chance of seeing these magnificent fish in person.

Anyway i can't afford, but i know of someone who can, but we were too late to getting the fish. Sigh!

This pair of personatus belongs to Dr. Wing Hung Chung from HK. He bought over this pair from a renown LFS in Japan, the B-Box Aquarium about two years back. It was price close to $30k while at B-Box, of course some discount was given, but the pair is still well over 20k when the deal was closed.

This pair currently has upgraded into a bigger and dedicated system and is spawning regularly. Kudos to the amazing husbandry skills of Dr Wing.

Guess for such rare fish, even for the high price tag, they are still highly sought after.

Prognathode Brasiliensis, another fish that we never see in our Brazil shipments.

A morephing Bluering angel

A new hybrid from marshalls has appeared at BBox again. But this time not hybrid but a full blood flavocoronatus!!

[yikai]

the brasiliensis is one of my fav prognathodes.

it's a higher class evovled yellow longnose butterfly In my opinion.

the flavocoronatus, without a doubt, gorgeous and super rare.

[M3Morph]

Any idea what is the diff between Prognathodes aculeatus and Prognathodes Brasiliensis? We have recently imported the Prognathodes aculeatus for a customer.

Cheers

aculeatus is smaller, and very light brown.

brasiliensis is a GOREOUS yellow-white and has some accents of green on the unpaired fins.

i think geographical location too. dont think the species overlap in range.]

if you could source for brasiliensis, that would be great

Blue stripe jawfish!

Coldwater Opistognathus hopkinsi from Japan. Posted back in 2010 on reefbuilders.

[Jake Adams]

Prognathodes brasiliensis usually looks like a washed out and more expensive version of P. aculeatus. I would much rather have the regular Caribbean longnose than P. brasiliensis, but the later is no longer exported as Brazil has banned the export of endemic reef fish species including Gramma brasiliensis and St. Paul's Rock Queen Angelfish.

Hi Jake,

nice to see you here. You're coming to Singapore again soon?
