I totally agree. I haven't felt this Christmas anticipation since I was a kid. I'm glad now I can buy whatever I want instead of hoping Santa will bring it.

well no need to get carried away...even if RCT releases their availability,it's not that you would get a home delivery....in all likelihood,large scale importers would get the shipment first...you have to wait to reach those to your LFS/online seller..

I think he sells them directly..

 

[auem]

that would be taking lot of extra trouble i guess...but good for buyers..

that would be taking lot of extra trouble i guess...

Not if priced accordingly.

Not news from RCT but another angel has been reared in captivity. Pomacanthus semicirculatus by Matthew Wittenrich and the Rising Tide Initiative !

and now news of regal blue tangs being breed in Taiwan...love it...when it rains, it pours....so much news latley about successful breeding, awesome to hear...anyone know when frank bred crosshatch triggers? just read about that too...

 

[reefjunkie42]

i believe it was somewhat recent that he bred the triggers

 

[A_Z]

so cool the news of the Banner Fish, Koran Angel and Regal Tang, breakthrough if you ask me.

regarding RCT, I do hope it is B.Y.O.B (Bring Your Own Bucket)

 

[velvetelvis]

OK, RCT, it's officially December now...

That is really exciting.... can they make dwarf versions though?

 

[velvetelvis]

I don't mean to sound like finger-drumming foot-tapper--I'm not even planning to keep a Centropyge, since corals are the main focus of my setup. But the fact that they're breeding and selling pygmy angels again is exciting news for any reefkeeper and a lot of people are waiting to see what they'll be offering.

Does anybody know what's going on over at RCT? December is already halfway over, but they have yet to release the long-promised species list, or even update the site since October, let alone start selling fish this month as planned (unless they're being sent to stores instead of sold via the site).

 

[Maximus]

Perhaps they meant Dec of 2012?

 

[humaguy]

or maybe Christmas morning?

 

[Poomba]

I was really hoping to be able to buy myself a CB Angelfish pair for Christmas...

 

[A_Z]

nothing yet maybe there were some problems that delayed the hatch or something?
