Hello all!
I've been waiting for a long time to post on RC but never had anything worth posting!
2 months ago, while in Tokyo, I passed by a shop that had a Gramma dejongi and could not help myself but to take a video of it (which at the time was the hottest new fish available in the market,i.e. before G. personatus made their way). Amazing fish but imo not worth the price (around $6,000).
Along was what I first thought was a P. venustus. When I asked the guy how much for it, he took the calculator and showed me 680 yen (around $800)! I asked him what was the difference between this one and another venustus he had in another tank for around $70 he showed me the blueharbor calendar with the famous pic of the supposed hybrid P. venustus x P. multifasciata.
I will later post some photos of the proclaimed hybrid hoping to get some further details on this interesting fish.
