scuba rob is going to build the ultimate deepwater tank with the fishes he caught.

into the tank goes this baby sanguineus hog and also the baby fuscipinnis anthias he caught awhile ago. he's planning to catch a 3cm bandit angel next.

[yikai]

chingchai now wants a pair of personatus, a school of ventralis, a pair of dejongi, a pair of sacura... and many more.

This sanguineus is so nice but the price tag is also very "nice".. Will look for a more red Bimaculatus and bluff myself it is a Sanguinues.. LOL...

I dun mind the baby fuscipinnis, Looks so like a blotchy anthias..

yup i saw. they are referring to P. pulcherrimus.

yeah thinking of trying... since they are way less aggressive than bartletts.

I am more concerned about the feeding habit and aggressiveness.. But from the two males that I have, they dun feed frequently and they accept more meaty food compared to others.. The others will pick off the cyclopeeze floating in the water column but they will feed during feeding time too...

the world map split up into the major coral reefs where super rare fishes are found. feel free to add those i missed.

[Digiman]

Flavicuada from where ah?

Flavicauda is typically imported through vanuatu shipment, but they're rare. So not seen v often.

scuba rob is going to build the ultimate deepwater tank with the fishes he caught.

into the tank goes this baby sanguineus hog and also the baby fuscipinnis anthias he caught awhile ago. he's planning to catch a 3cm bandit angel next.

The ultimate Hawaii deepwater tank has long been achieved already, and none other by blueharbour mr koji wada. He keeps a display tank where inside contains a sanguineus hog, 2 fuscipinnis anthias, many hawaiiensis ventralis, one personatus male which has turned a bit female, P.basabei, and other super rare non-hawaii fishes like debelius angel, multicolor x coral beauty hybrid, kellogi plectranthias, guyanensis butterfly etc. There's also another separate tank where he keeps the ultimate deepwater butterfly from hawaii, Roa Excelsa!

chingchai now wants a pair of personatus, a school of ventralis, a pair of dejongi, a pair of sacura... and many more.

The pair of personatus has to wait for a while. The rest are quite obtainable to him.

This sanguineus is so nice but the price tag is also very "nice".. Will look for a more red Bimaculatus and bluff myself it is a Sanguinues.. LOL...

I dun mind the baby fuscipinnis, Looks so like a blotchy anthias..

U cant bluff a sanguineus using a bimaculatus! Fuscipinnis is also v ex, commanding the same price as sanguineus as they're caught at the same depth despite sanguineus being a little harder to catch. The baby fuscipinnis is gg to cost a bomb also! U've to see a fuscipinnis in person to realise the difference between it and blotchy are worlds apart!

[yikai]

can ask koji giv me his debelius, basabei, lanceolatus and excelsa? pleeease?

[Digiman]

can ask koji giv me his debelius, basabei, lanceolatus and excelsa? pleeease?

can ask koji giv me his multicolor x coral beauty hybrid! It's the rarest, one and only one on earth.
