then that male Personatus should not be there...he got a pair of Personatus back in 2010....no male Personatus is caught this year...

The anthias are female Tasanoides, and they've been in that display a while also.

He has (has had) some other displays that are more 'user friendly'.

 

[Aqua-Mauritius]

Guess it's in Hong-kong....
There's one left in the home country... most probably will head to Israel if am not wrong.

Please forgive my ignorance, but I don't understand why these angelfish are so hard to collect. I mean I see Mauritus fish shipments here in the states pretty frequently. Is it because there a are no collectors trained to collect at the depths the Debelius are located?

They are true a beautiful fish and are my ultimate dream fish too, next to the peppermint.

Nopes, the best collectors were and are in Mauritius for a while.

Am not sure if Mauritius shipment in USA are that common... it's still the rarest in imho.. Mauritius being the furthest exporting Country.
Most Mauritius shipment in USA consists of fish collected under 150 ft..

The "these angelfish" are normally collected at 270Ft minimum..
Am not sure many divers in the whole world are going that deep to collect fish.

Beside this, these fish are already extremely rare in the wild... and need a lot of patience for decompression which may take over a week sometimes

 

[Aqua-Mauritius]

On thing for sure , most Debelius in the past have generally landed in Asia Hong-kong and Japan.

 

[angelfish boy]

We get them all the time in the USA. And for cheap too, my lfs had one for 60 bucks.

 

[Yurivd]

[Ambition]

Good looking fish. One of the many angels I hope to keep in the future, as well as be able to breed.

[nonimmigrant]

Debelius here in HK is about $3K.

 

[ingtar_shinowa]

pretty neat.

 

[auem]

Debelius here in HK is about $3K.

i thought it would be $5k at least considering fishes making to the world market each year can be counted by one hand....
