SHOW OFF YOUR RARE amd HYBRIDS!!!

[deepreefdiver]

Lets get a thread going where everyone can show off their rare and most prized fish! SHOW OFF THOSE FISH that many of us didnt even know were available! I know that ENERGY isnt the only one who keeps hybrids and rare fish!

My Black x Scopas:

 

[snorvich]

Ok, pretty rare as these things go . . . the male of a pair of Earle's fairy wrasses

 

[triggerfish1976]

Snorvich,

Do you still have that Earlii?

 

[myerst2]

Many of us have fish that are considered rare to some people. Rare is a very difficult thing to judge because of what people are used to seeing. I have a Black Tang, Crosshatch, Borbonius, Rhinopias, Tinker's, and a Meletremus. I don't think they are rare but just uncommon. If someone posts a personatus, wrought (borderline), kingi, clipperton, xanthic varities, aurora anthias, etc. That is rare in my book. Tim

 

[Pyotale]

This qualify as rare?

 

[AuroraDrvr]

Meredithi x Conspiculatus?

 

[Pyotale]

Indeed it is

 

[chrisstie]

It was rare to get so many fish in the frame but point your attention toward the big clown

My Black x Scopas:

I'm uneducated about these things, but how do you know it's a black x scopas and not just a dark scopas tang? I've seen several scopas that are so dark they look almost like black tangs.

 

[zemuron114]

generally black x scopas will have the faint blue lines and the longer nose - which it looks like jda has. Most scopas will not be that black and if they are usually dont show the the blue lines. it looks like a hybrid to me.

that meridithi x conspic is sweet!!! is it yours??

 

[myerst2]

Here are some rare ones for you. Tim
Purple Rhinopias

Emperor hybrid

Personatus

Nahakyi

xanthic regal

Ballinae

Respendens

Emperor hybrid

who knows?

Collini

 

[chrissreef]

Wow Myerst!

 

[TheSaltwaterGuy]

I think the "who knows" fish may be a Regal hybrid of some sort.

 

[glassbox-design]

Wow, That Chrysurus x Emperor Hybrid is beautiful.

Just a heads up, the last one is Paracentropyge boylei. Collini's are still rare, but not to the Peppermint's level

Wow Myerst!

Dont get too impressed. Those are just photos of rare fish that have been collected and sold (most likely to an overseas buyer for a mortgage-esque price).

 

[Vili_Shark]

The last one ya put there is boylei and not colini .


The imperator hybrids are just awsome, I've never seen one in person.

 

[myerst2]

Hey MyReef, I wasn't claiming they were mine. Yes it is a boylei, my bad. Here are some more pics of fish THAT are not mine. Regards, Tim

 

[myerst2]

That last picture is a dream fish combo I will someday have when I set up my next temperate tank. Those two fish together, a Wrought and Interruptus are such a great contrast in colors. Regards, Tim
