Digiman Posted June 19, 2011 Author Share Posted June 19, 2011 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.

Digiman Posted June 19, 2011 Author Share Posted June 19, 2011 this video must be taken in midway atoll right? the only place where they live in such shallow depths for filming. Most likely. If not some where in north western side of hawaii where personatus occurs at regular scuba depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digiman Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 Bro digi, don tel me u r getting tis pair!!!! Lol!!!! 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! coralfriend is a pretty well known seadragons lover in HK.. I believe he is the owner of this pair.. Cheers.. 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.

Senior Reefer yikai Posted June 21, 2011 Senior Reefer Share Posted June 21, 2011 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.

SRC Member M3Morph Posted June 21, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted June 21, 2011 Any idea what is the diff between Prognathodes aculeatus and Prognathodes Brasiliensis? We have recently imported the Prognathodes aculeatus for a customer. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Adams Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 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.
