New abberations on LA

[myerst2]

Hey just got the new list from DD from LA. They have this yellow and black dalmation dogface puffer. Doesn't do much for me but cool none the less. The price is crazy. The angel is beautiful though and would grab it if i could put it some where. Also the Gem has dropped in price dramatically. Funny how everyone was asking LA to get a Gem and then no one would buck up. Tim

Funny how we have the same tastes Tim.
That puffer is pretty sweet.
Gems must be in right now because a store close to me has 3" specimens for around $2400.

Triggerfish, that angel you have in your Avator is that yours? If it is do you have any pictures of him. I think they are bad a$$.
Sorry myerst2 didn't mean to highjack your thread, I just find that conspic. angel amazing.

That puffer is beautiful!

It will be in a couple of days.
Sorry for derailing the thread Tim.

No worries. Where are you getting your conspic.? How much are you paying? You can me PM me that if you want. I have been looking and looking. Found some good prices but not good enough for me to bite. May get a bandit but that is wishful thinking as i know that is a bad idea. How big is the Conspic your getting? You can highjack any of my threads if your talking about conspics!!!! Tim

Tim, if you are interested in bandits, Phishybusiness has a mated pair.

That hybrid/aberrant angel is beautiful. The orange eye with contrasting blue on the face is really striking.

Somewhat OT:
Old Town got a nice Bandit in yesterday. We walked in as they were unbagging it.

Trigger,
That's a beautiful fish. Good luck with it :thumbsup:

I have been contemplating getting a Bandit but their poor track record scares me a bit. I keep my tank at 76F. I think the tank I would keep him in would be too aggressive for the bandit as well. What did Old Town charge for the Bandit and how big is he?

Is that abberration angel a hybrid? If so what is it exactly? Tim

 

[triggerfish1976]

Bandits are not very aggressive. They are similar to Regal Angels in that respect and that is if there are other aggressive fish in the tank they will sometimes hide and refuse to eat.
The angel looks like a Lemonpeel/Halfblack hybrid that can easily be found for $100.00.

I agree. I also wonder if if the black/blue spots on the head will disappear as the fish ages/matures like the blue/black circle they have on their body as juvi's does.

Some of the blue does fade away over time on those hybrids (at least IME.)
