Roaops on parade!

[SDguy]

Even a couple on sale. I'm thinking of getting the declivis... it is such a different color than my declivis, it might be neat to have them together.

 

[Rea17]

You are an addict!

You probably already have most of them, but I noticed last night that LA got a ton of Australian butterflies in, some uncommon ones too! I'm trying to resist the temptation.

 

[Fish Biscuit]

He is pretty. I like butterflies & angels too but having a horse limits my fish budget quite a bit lol.

 

[Dr Colliebreath]

The dusky and rainford's would be nice to have.

 

[caribfan]

Where is the rainfords? I was thinking about that Declivid too, I'm just not ready yet though.

I didn't see a ton... I did notice LA has a Coradion for sale... http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+25+251&pcatid=251

Always wanted one, but at this point I don't really need any more stripe themed butterflies :lol:

Get the Chaetodon quadrimaculatus

 

[SDguy]

I just can't right now. The current QT crowd is almost done, and I'm out of town, then at a wedding, then out of town again. Not in the cards right now

 

[ccampbell57]

Peter that declivis is the exact color of my old male. Almost all yellow in the back. The female had a lot of black. Awesome specimen

 

[SDguy]

Chris, that is interesting. Are you implying that the color difference is a sexual thing, not a regional thing?

 

[ccampbell57]

Not sure if it is sexual but once I added my pair of Tinkers the black was almost gone on the male. He started off with a lot of black

 

[Ambition]

How did you know which one was male and which was female? I haven't seen any information on sexing any butterfly species... Did you have spawnig events between the two?

 

[ccampbell57]

The male was the smaller of the 2 and was constantly sizing up the larger tinkers. He also courted with the female nightly

 

[Sugar Magnolia]

The Tinkeri is sweet looking as well.

Did you see the juvi yesterdsay! Gorgeous! http://www.liveaquaria.com/diversden/ItemDisplay.cfm?c=2733+3&ddid=202826

I may or may not have rounded out my Roaops collection though...

 

[SDguy]

Get the Chaetodon quadrimaculatus

I can neither confirm nor deny that this happened

LOL, did you also pick up the Chaetodon mesoleucos they had on there today?

No, I've never found them too attractive. Plus, I understand that they are very aggressive to other butterflies.

I've had a mesoleucos in QT for two months now and pics don't do them justice. I'll post my experience if/when I get him into my DT, but right now he is recovering from a hunger strike after his first experience with cupramine.

I'm sure you will love the quadrimaculatus, very active BF. Mine is always pacing my tank.

I like the tinkeri alot
