come on ... spill it lol

sorry, still waiting for the go ahead...was sold to a reefer in Germany...have a bunch of pics and 2 videos...

 

[humaguy]

The waiting game, my least favourite game. Are you going to be spilling the news tonight?

lol, so don't play...this is a game many of us play often, whether it is waiting to hear what Frank/RCT, Wen-ping, Karen, Sanjay, Chad and others are up to...I am playing it right now with a couple collectors who are up to something very special but will not say what...it is a part of the industry...

 

[humaguy]

Waiting...

Hey bud,

Still waiting for the release...but think royalty...

 

[Barracuda]

she is 2-3cm!!
so, about the size of the small jocs...

 

[Barracuda]

That is an awesome sized monarch!!!
Did you turn it down or missed out?
That could of been considered a jewel of your collection......

wow, don't know what is coming, but the fish being in Europe, and they had dibs, I am assuming it is out of either africa, maldives, or Indo. I know that is a huge range, but just trying to have a smaller choice. Assuming it is an angel, at this size, it would be very difficult to know if it is a hybrid, so I am scratching that.

I would say one of

a. kingii
a. guezi
c. debelius
c. abei

Thats is royalty, don't you think (maybe debelius to a lesser extent)?

 

[ingtar_shinowa]

a. kingii is my guess

Solid guesses....

 

[humaguy]

a. kingii is my guess

lol, solid and succinct...

 

[Allmost]

okay ill play too. I was gonna guess masked angel ... but those would sell in japan before they make it to the surface.

Id say Centropyge abei.

kingi I know some or one at least were available a couple weeks ago. higher price than the pepps !

Sorry, I thought I was going to get permission much, much quicker...the size of this fish was just incredible...Koji did get a Kingi but that was a 6 incher...this fish, regardless of specie, is just a wonderful size if you like small angels...supposedly, that 6-incher was sold for 30k, which is mind-boggling!

 

[humaguy]

Winner! :wave:

 

[humaguy]

So here is the deal...

he caught the 2-3cm baby Tiger and on Monday night the fish was offered to koji, arie., and a few others...I got lucky and he emailed me too but passed, I mentioned to Drew and he passed...
I have 4 pics and 2 nice videos but was just told the owner does not want the pics to be released or posted as the fish is his prop now...I thought that was odd but maybe he has big plans for her, lol...
The fish sold for a whopping 16k...
She was just tiny around .50-.75 of an inch and her coloration is stunning...she was eating and seemed quite robust...
Sorry I can't share the pics and videos...he says he will have more soon....

Im in the process of setting up a 280 FOWLR since the GF wants a huge angel of some kind(thinking Annularis, Queen, or a Emperor). Gonna sit her down and go through this thread with her this weekend, so much eye candy here.

 

[HPark]

[humaguy]
