I got me a Blotchy

[jaa1456]

I didn't really plan on ever buying one, but today i found the right one for the right price. I picked him/her up and an Argi angel for 190. Still no clue how to tell the sex of the blotchy though. Has anyone figured this out yet?

Are you referring to a blotched anthias?

Like many anthias species, the dominant fish will become a male. Males are larger, and have a yellow "knob" on their elongated third dorsal spine. We kept a trio for several years, and they're great fish.

Yea the blotched anthias or bornibus, I only purchased one. The Lfs only had one in stock, I got it for a great price due to the store having a 40% off sale. I missed out on the tiny gem that went for 1500. I would have paid 1500 for one but not 2500.

You paid 190 for an Argi angel?
