RAREst fish in your sps tank

[Tom Berry]

Do you all know when Scott Michael is going to come out with vol 2 of Reef Fishes?

I believe it is out. Champion Lighting has it listed on their site.

You'l have to wait til vol 3 for angels, though.

that would be a GREAT fish for a 30 gallon tank :hmm4:

I don't think he realized I only have a 30g tank /


Luis,

I'm planning on a MUCH larger tank hopefuly in the near future, getting married in a month, and plan on buying a house shortly afterwards. I'd love to get one for that tank, and I'll shoot you a PM when I'm ready. Thank you

This might sound a bit stupid...but the fish in the middle...is that a sixline...b/c it looks insanely bright!! And if so...it seals the deal on me getting on for my tank!

It's a sixline. A great reef fish, just make sure to add it LAST.

Maybe not too long though. Amazon says that "Angelfishes and Butterflyfishes" by Scott W. Michael will be out in June 2004. It's not 100% clear that these represent vol. 2 and 3 of the series as they don't seem to explicitly state that, but the one that's out now does appear to say that it's part of the "reef fish series".

If you really look for a good book:
Angelfish by Debelius and Kuiter.
These two saw it all, and telling us about it.
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G-!

But, come on guys, Project Reef, Moonpod, anybody??!?!
Anybody ever saw a nahachyi ???

I'm sure they are around, but I have the only half-black mimic tang I've ever seen. Only $14!

Hi All,
the tank belongs to Mr. Hill at www.marineaquatics.us .Check out his price on a conspic.
http://www.marineaquatics.us/livestock_i333432.html?catId=19336

I have known him for a long time and in that time he has truly gotten some of the rarest of the rare. He made it a passion to aquire the rarest fish, the fish for which there arent even pictures, and then he would often come tell me about it when I managed Marine Fish in Atlanta. Mark came to see the tank with me when I was watching the tank one time and he actually took most of the pictures. Some notable fish he has aquired are
Bodianus sanguineus
clarion passer hybrid
plenty of "plain" clarions as well
wrought iron butterfly
falcifer bfly
2" conspic, unheard of size
flavocoronatus and flavo/burgess hybrid
japanese morwong
personatus angel pr which I bagged up for him to ship to japan
clipperton angel pair
his albino eel which you can see on his website
supermale blueline angel with solid blue face

and a myriad of small basslets, pigmy angels and wrasses that are hard to remember

 

[invincible569]

wow coralite, you werent lying. there are some unique rare fish on there. That conspicuous is one of a kind! I love it! here are some of my favorites from his website:

African Pompano

White Tang ($550):

Rhinopios Scorpionfish ($1200):

Conspicuous Angel ($750 - not bad compared to the Japanese $1750):

 

[pncstod]

My four rare fish:

Five Bar Mystery wrasse
Lineatus Wrasse
Laboutei Wrasse
Helfrichi Firefish

 

[fishsoldseprtly]
