Hey Guys,
I visited a fish store about 1 1/2 hours away from me today to check out the place. Looked like there was some kind of breakout of something in their fish tanks because nearly all of their saltwater tanks were empty and the ones that weren't either had one fish which was dead or the fish had some kind of parasite. A couple of the tanks looked very healthy, but looks like something took hold on majority of their tanks, either that or they basically sold out.
Found an anthias there that looked severely stressed and out in a tank with another dead fish. Looking at the tank I figured the fish was probably going to die there, so picked it up to try and save it (yes a foolish move, I know, but I have a soft spot for trying to rescue some of these guys, this is the 4th fish in the last year I've taken from the LFS, got back into decent shape, and turned back into another LFS I trust).
The sales person was really nice, but, when they told me this fish was a weitei anthias, I figured I was on my own to figure out what it is.
Fish is in a quarantine tank right now, but, trying to figure out what it is. So far I've narrowed it down to either a female tuka, a female bartlett or a female dispar. I'm shying away from it being a tuka though, as, compared to the tuka I already have, the yellow line on this fish seems a lot thicker. Can someone help with this? Pics attached below.
