Asian/Korean Sweet Lips???

[Sparg93]

I saw this fish in my LFS and just fell in love with its body lines and colors. Have any of you guys ever heard of an Asian Sweet Lips?? (its either Asian or Korean, i can't remember)

Any info you could provide would be great.

Thanks!!

no, i have heard of an oriental sweetlips, with black and white horizontal lines across the body and a tinge of yellow. yeah they are cool but all sweetlips get humongeous, unless you are planning on some day having more than 200 gallons in your house i do not reccomend one.

"The Dogfish Orientalis, also known as the Lined Sweetlips, Oriental Sweetlips, or Oriental Dogfish..."

"The Dogfish Black Picus is also known as the Magpie Sweetlips."


Just thought I'd add this because from your two posts it seemed as if there was some confusion on which was which.

I ASSUME that the Asian Sweetlips you mentioned is being confused with the Oriental Sweetlips. The picture you posted in the other thread was a Magpie so maybe the store has it wrong altogether.
