They are so cute.
Would love to know more details of them.
What is the price idea?

Thanks for all input.
 
That guys is amazing. Too bad the US has an embargo with Cuba. We wont see these guys here for a while.
 
Hi there,

Here some pictures of these fish in my nano tank.

Greetings,

Whoa Kroonos - Great Snag! So you're the ONE who got these beauties? How are they doing? Are they similar in personality to the Royal Gramma?
 
They behave indeed a lot like the Loreta. The swim a lot in full light (which is a bit strange for a fish out of the depth), constantly waiting for food. They behave friendly to all the other small fish and needles. I hope they stay this friendly, but you never know.

As it is my hobby, I never speek about money!!!!

Like I said on RB, how can they say they are endemic if they are a deepwater fish? I bet we still haven't discovered their full range yet...

Also aren't there restrictions for collecting deep in the Caribbean/Florida? Pretty sure you can't use a rebreather to collect in Florida. I'm not sure if that is the case for the Caribbean too. Either way I bet they could be found somewhere else besides Cuba.
 
Sad there are beautiful creatures right here in our own back yard and we dont even know it. Whats even more sad is that things like this oil "spill" could make it so we never see them at all....Beautiful fish none the less....
