2 young adult wrought irons around 5 inch
1 baby wrought iron 2.5 inch
1 baby dragon moray eel, thickness of your thumb.

first time i'm seeing the eel at such tiny size and also the baby wrought iron.

they arrived yesterday in my country and thought i shared some pictures.

the pics are taken by my friend Lawrence, so photo credit goes out to him!
the fishes were bought by my friends.

gorgeous aint they!









 
the wrought irons are indeed lovely. did not buy them this time round but will surely do the next time. the baby wrought iron went to my friend and it's in good hands!

i dont know the max size but they can reach 6 inches no problem and even bigger i bet.

price varies from country to country but the smaller they are, the pricier they get.
 
If you have to ask the price, you cannot afford one! LOL
Just kidding, though I may not be far off the mark..
Beautiful, beautiful, superlative fish. Makes me wish that 2nd larger tank would eventually materialize..until then, just dreams.

Those wrought irons are amazing im so jealous ! Chaetodon daedalma get close to 6 inches. In the us probably 1200-2000$ depending on where you get it from. Just look at the whitecap goby.. ive seen it as much as $1400 to as little as $499 so you just have to find the right place i think :) .There beautiful please post more pics if you can!

EDIT: In the US people get up to 5k for a pair 0.o .

there's actually alot of pictures sent to me by my friend but i don't wish to post all since they're so repetitive.

but here's some other things that were at the same shop.

a 1ft long queen and king.

and another picture of the daedalma.









 
Yup, I think anything between 68-72 is good for them. That's what I know to be true, but haven't been fortunate enough to own any!

Wow! Stunning angelfish!! The wrought irons need to be kept at a cool temperature right? Like 70F-75F?

in the wild they are found in cool waters but they adapt well to reef tank temp, like the interruptus angels.

i would say 78F is still acceptable but try not to go above it.

it's easy for you guys to keep the temp low because i guess you have cooler weather except for summer.

but for people living in singapore, right smack in the middle of the equator, temperature can rise up to 95F in the day, so it's really quite impossible to chill our tanks to 70-75.
