Hey Ted, I understand QM had received one baby clarion and one baby maze from Wen recently. Any chance of one of these ending up in your tank?

here is the maze pic I referred to earlier that def had me thinking about adding one...this was from earlier today and Wen announced the fish was sold in Asia...

Wow! They look prettier as juveniles. Thanks for the picture.

Your collection is amazing, I too love the tigerpye, bandits, jocs..etc....etc!

yeah, they are a pair and these long winter days have both their colors dialed way back...this is their "off-season" coloration..

So they change color because the temp is lower in the winter? Or is it just by season and not related to the water temp?

Btw, what temp do you keep your tank at for your interruptus and bandits?

That's a nice example of a tigerpyge.

There are some cheap ones on the market in the UK at the moment but not all tigerpyges are created equally.

With this fish it's all about the definition of the stripes, the colour of the body, the darkness of the tail and the blue rim on the fins.

they both dial back their colors during the short days of winter...
the water temp is around 73...

Thx for the reply!
So you are saying that the day-night lighting cycle affects their color? Thats very interesting!
is 73 kept throughout the year or just for winter?

 

[HPark]

Also -- sorry if this info was earlier in the thread - do you use natural lights? Or do you change on/off times throughout the year to get these "short winter days"?

As always -- love looking at pictures of your fish!

they are def more colorful and more into performing their mating dance during the summer...moon cycles affect them too...

tank is right next to large windows so the natural light is terrific...there are 5 Mitras units on tank...timers are def adjusted for daylight savings time...

 

[humaguy]

I will try and post a pic of the tank/windows at some point...

 

[Angelfish rule]

Any pics of the navarcus
Don't think there have been any recently

 

[Eville]

Yo did you see that blue masked angel that blue harbor posted a videos of? I've never seen one before.. it was also huge. Wouldn't be my first choice but definitely interesting looking!
