Very nice pickup. Can't wait to see some pics of them when they arrive. Wish you the best of luck with them.

i still think bells flasher is the best looking flasher

Bells is a prettier fish when it's flashing for sure. Of the three, I'm still more drawn to Nursalim ...

Thank you maxwell and yes I agree nursalim is out of this world. If anyone from hk wants to post a pic of 1 in their aquarium please do!

i dont know to me the bells looks drap, just red with no markings....idk to each is own. id much rather have earls over a bells. but i guess having any of those would be amazing as well. on a side note i heard from my supplier that the second pair sold too. so i guess thats a wrap until they show up again!

Congrats on the C. nahackyi pair! As for the Bell's just being drab, we find ours to be quite colorful.

... This is one of the most stressful rides of my life...

???? sounds like you're going to see a fish, that you just met on Match dot com !

 

[reefjunkie42]

They are amazing these fish might be the best looking fish in my labridae collection. I feel bad harassing them in the QT with flash photography but Ill work on it. I cant get over how healthy and fat they were either. Thank you QM for such amazing healthy fish and ABC REEFS 1 Syracuse, my LFS for helping me procure these amazing specimens. I have 1 pic I snapped I will post but I got a look at him in the bag in the store and the finnage and color pattern is amazing. The pink tail is also out of this world. stay tuned more to come and pictures to follow.

I know right? its because I didnt know if they shipped well or not, I only knew they arrived.

camer died so heres a teaser until tomorrow

 

[Reefing Newbie]

Beautiful fish! Wish I could have a pair! It looks quite healthy so you are off you a good start. Keep us updated.

 

[reefjunkie42]

yea they both looked great. I hope they come out of the pvc more today. I kept it dim in the tank too so hopefully they will be out. I saw them both eat though in the dark so thats a great sign.

You wouldn't happen to know if your pair came out of this new program that QM is doing? If so this sounds like a collectors dream!! (I copied the text from r e e f --- b u i l d e r s .com in case anybody wants to read the article with included picture of cirrhilabrus nahacky that might be reefjunkie42's)

Aquarium marine life wholesaler Quality Marine continues to make an effort to breakdown the status quo of marine aquarium fish collection and importation. Their latest innovation is the new ultra-low volume "œCollectors Series" of wild caught marine fish. QM's annoucement today, and some initial thoughts, after the break.

Introducing the "œQM Collectors Series." This series will consist of special specimens in extremely limited quantities that are collected by the absolute best of the QM exclusive, world class collectors. They will come with a diver signed certificate of authenticity. We are starting this off right by offering these Nahacky Wrasse pairs that were collected by their discoverer and namesake Tony Nahacky. There are only 4 pairs here, so don't miss your chance to get in on this once in a lifetime opportunity.

Certainly this is a novel idea, somewhat akin to the efforts of other companies like EcoAquariums PNG whose individual fish numbering system ties each and every fish back to a collector's name, location, and collection date. We assume that QM's "œDiver-Signed Certificate of Authenticity" is meant to create another deeper connection to the source of the livestock, and certainly will carry a premium price tag for this added level of acountability in the chain of custody. Will Quality Marine's "œCollectors Series" be responsible for elevating certain rare fish collectors to "œrock star status" among the marine aquarium hobby? We are interested to see how aquarium livestock retailers, and ultimately the aquarists who purchase these fish, respond to this interesting new marketing effort.
