I am not sure, I believe that they are tank raised though.

great p/u on the earleis........i just hope the c.resplendens did not come out of Ascension Island..

if so...another black mark on the hobby

Agreed, although they're either "pre-owned" or they came out of ascension, right? No one is captive breeding them right now to my knowledge (plus, those look large for if they'd been captive bred).

Well, at least the Interrupta are beautiful. I wonder where they're going and for how much.

I didn't get the jest that they were collected. It seemed more like they were tank raised. But I really didn't go into it since my focus is the Earlei Wrasses. I do know that the entire shipment was on the up and up, cleared customs, all species were documented and accounted for.

I got the impression the Angels were all from someones private collection.

Enough about the Angels...I am a Wrasse guy and this is a Wrasse thread

I don't know about know but a few years someone was breeding them in Hawaii for awhile with some success.

I'm not so sure I wont be hovering over the tank to make sure the tops dont shift..:lol:

 

[skibum9884]

Ok, it's Monday! Time for some pictures when the arrive!

 

[huskerreef]

I got word on Sunday that they will ship today...more stress waiting. I think my guy in Omaha actually placed an order with the wholesaler and they held off a day to fill his order and ship it all together. They're killing me.

 

[skibum9884]

Jeeez!!!! Sorry, I can't imagine the stress of waiting! Good news is at least you'll have them soon. (Also, I find the anticipation of waiting makes the actual arrival that much better!).

 

[huskerreef]

here is a pic of them leaving for the airport last week in Japan

 

[skibum9884]

It sure is nice how you have everything in pictures!

 

[Makaveli2010]

I do believe that Earlei wrasses come out of Palau.... Palau has a direct flight to Japan 3 days a week....

 

[gweston]

Gorgeous wrasses! Please post pics when they are in the tank!

There's a Canadian retailer "taking pre-orders" right now on the Interruptus for $1200.
