OMG! Look at these hybrids and rare fishes!

[yikai]

Not wassi.

Tw forked tail should make identification very easy now that there's a distinct feature.

[yikai]

actually the finnage and dead colouration looks abit like a full grown pseudoplesiops wassi. but the tail looks a bit diff,

a very good link for queen angel morphs

various morphs,

Ok now with a better pic i can go and search wat it is.

The body shape and tail is v different from wassi and elongatus.

Was the body this red before it died? Cos u told me it's bluish grey but from the pic of the dead fish it looks reddish grey.

Think yesterday it was stress coloration with all the whitespots infecting it. Only when it was dead did the natural color emerge.

[yikai]

could your dottyback be this?

Pseudochromis moorei

i dont think so but the tail is quite similar. P. moorei is a very big dottyback. like P. steenei.

[yikai]

this one looks like the dead photo you posted.

pink body, yellow iris..

thanks for the link!

i love reading scientific journals and articles like this.

so intellectually stimulating.

especially with regards to biology!

[yikai]

i've posted this before but i'm posting it again.

i can't believe this has not gathered as much attention as i hope it would.

a snow white flame wrasse.

super rare as no fairy wrasse has ever been documented as an aberrant before. but it reverted back to normal colours in a few months.

A gorgeous hybrid, semi x takeuchii

Some older pics have been posted before, but not as beautiful as the one above.

Rare Dolosus butterfly from East africa shipment.

OMG, I like this...

[yikai]

Chaetodon dolosus is common in africa.

but because of it's dull lack luster colouration, it is seldom imported.

[yikai]

here are three african butterflies that look very similar.

Chaetodon hoefleri

Chaetodon marleyi

Chaetodon robustus

out of the three, robustus is the most commonly offered african butterfly.

hoefleri and marleyi are very rare and super expensive.

[Digiman]

OMG, I like this...

If u like look out for east african shipment. They are rare but has appeared before.

The last one tat came in was from CF east african shipment. That same shipment u and Jon bought the flameback angels.

It was stuck at the corner of the back tanks, nobody buy becos it was injured and was breaking down and it died shortly after.

Before tat i believe LCK brought in before also.

It is not an expensive fish.

Wonder where did the LCK small robustus go...

Wonder where did the LCK small robustus go...

probably someone's tank.

i dont think you're the only one interested in robustus. and small size ones v uncommon.

u shud have gotten it when u had the chance!

Not regretting.. But let me find out what is wrong with butterflies in my tank...

[Digiman]

Wat hybrid is this?

[Digiman]

It is every reefer's dream to replicate a schooling group of fish in our home tank. But sadly v few fishes school in a small confine environment.

The best options being leptacanthus cardinals and parvulus cardinals. And for the nano tank, aioliops megastigma.

However for the Japanese they are v lucky, they are able to get another great schooling fish for the aquarium, Rhabdamia Gracilis (Luminous cardinal fish).

The fish is also found in Fiji, but is never exported from there. Japanese get the fish from their own waters.

[Digiman]

Super rare pair of goby, Lubricogobius dinah.

Only the Japanese can get this fish, and yes it is super pricey, cost the same as a conspic angel!

[Digiman]

Gorgeous randalli anthias male

Do u see any diff in this diadema dottyback? Look at the tail.

[Digiman]

Ugly rusty angel.
