Haha, i dunno if this topic has already been created. But i wanna start a thread showing all the unusual different morphs and deformities that occur in the wild and in the aquarium. so feel fre to post pictures of unique fishes with different colours, growth, size, etc etc! i believe digiman has created a thread featuring hybrids and some colour morphs of fish. this thread only show different morphs haha

The second one is not really a morph... It is a Male Genicanthus Personatus.. So far only two in captivity over so many years.. Both are in Wakiki Aquarium if not wrong...

Tosanoides anthias has recently appeared in the trade (first time! and of course in japan.). I found the selling price posted online from a Japan LFS: 398000 yen = S$6600.

Who will buy?? Somemore it requires v cool water.

[Digiman]

Also on the same site for sale is the ultra rare holanthias fuscipinis at 498000yen = S$8300. Waikiki has one in display.

Japanese are crazy to mark fishes at these price, no wonder all the good and rare stuff always go there first.

Shown below is the fish on sale:

For us, hmm we dont lose out, we have our replicas of tosanoide and fuscipinis readily available: they are the Sunburst and Borbonius!

No, there are a couple home aquariums manage to keep Personatus. One shown below is taken from a japanese tank when he updated his tank on 18th Jan 2009.
