Senior Reefer yikai Posted July 5, 2011 Senior Reefer Share Posted July 5, 2011 v rare and nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digiman Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 Nothing too rare about the fishes except for the two clarions in there. There's also a black tang and goldflake. We all know this is pieter's 2000 gallon tank but sadly it no longer look like this after a ick and velvet outbreak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digiman Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 This is another tank from europe that i like a lot. I like the choice of fishes. It is a chaetodontoplus heaven: Conspic pair, True personifer and blueline angel. Not to also mention the eye-catching anampses feminus, carmabi basslet, a big school of evansi anthias which are v difficult to keep alive and a pair of flame wrasse that stay so closely to each other!

JakeAdams Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Not sure what's up with all the Rainfordia lately but looks like SplashSea got a hold of one too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ba7Zcltt_no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digiman Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 Not sure what's up with all the Rainfordia lately but looks like SplashSea got a hold of one too. 1 went to US, 1 went to Blueharbor, 1 to B-Box, and now 1 to Splashsea. So that makes it four rainfordias collected already in such a short period of time but there is still so little info on the fish especially where and how they are collected. Now it gives me some hope that i can get one, although still it is not likely to happen anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s9534891b Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Mccullochi babies at BH. All less than 3cm. AT 1200 each, it is the most expensive CB clowns. tank breed or wild caught? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digiman Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 Small ones are exceedingly rare. There are so many more 5cm bandit than 5cm tinker. In fact the pics of 5cm tinker i've seen i can count with three fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digiman Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 tank breed or wild caught? Tank bred tat's why so cheap. Wild caught one will cost a bomb (easily at least 5k per fish) becos they are illegal to collect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digiman Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 i'll never forget this specimen. the smallest flavocoronatus i've seen. This does not look like a pure flavo either. Those coming out from marshalls now are all mutts. Pure blood are extremely rare in marshalls. The only place where pure blood flavo can be found with any regularity is Guam but there is no collection. this tinker is very beautiful. the thick yellow border on the dorsal fin is gorgeous. It looks a bit like a declivis but is a tinker. Those tinker coming to us are getting bigger and bigger. I recall my first tinker from LCK was 3.5" and during tat time i did not think it was small. Couple months ago another 3+" tinker appeared at LCK but the price was 500. Now so many tinkers came at cheaper price but are all giants! Come to think of it i rather pay 500 to get a smaller tinker.
