Latest Drs. Foster & Smith Catalogue?

[todd2000]

What kind of fish is that on the cover of the latest Drs. Fosters & Smith catalogue. It looks like some kind of Wrasse, but I can't find it in their Catalogue, or their wesite.

it says it right on the back flap by the address - I believe it was a type of anthia

 

[todd2000]

Cool thanks, didn't really look like an Anthia

 

[todd2000]

wow that picture looks nothing like this http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_Display.cfm?pCatId=2264 I wonder if they labeled it wrong

 

[Travis L. Stevens]

The one that is on my mailing list is a Pseudanthias ventralis ventralis or it's a Pseudanthias ventralis hawaiiensis. A beautiful but very delicate deep water anthias that is difficult to keep in the home aquarium. I believe getting it to eat is the hardest part.

Is this the one that you were looking at?

 

[trippyl]

hmmm very interesting. either way it sounds like they labelled it wrong.

 

[todd2000]

Yeah that seems to be the one on the cover, they have it labelled as a Resplendent Anthias (Pseudanthias pulcherrimus)

Very beautiful though.

Yes indeed. Why are all the really beautiful fish hard to keep?

Todd2000,
The specimen on the cover of our latest catalog is the Ventralis Anthias (Pseudanthias ventralis) and not the Resplendent Anthias (Pseudanthias pulcherrimus) as stated on the back of the catalog. Unfortunately we were unable to have this corrected before the catalog was printed. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

LOL, I didn't realize Drs Foster & Smith posted here, although judging from the # of posts not much

You guys are funny, but seriously I have always had good experiances with Fosters Smith I bought everything for my tank there, the Customer service is great, haven't bought any livestock form livaquaria yet, but I think I will probably get my clean-up crew, and flame from them.
