Congrats on a great pickup!

Thanks Peter, I've had a pair of Joculators in my tank for the past 2 years or so and that concerns me as dwarf angels can get pretty aggressive with each other, but hopefully it's nothing that a little egg crate and a lot of patience can't solve!

As long as the fish's mommy and daddy made it in the ocean, it's fine by me if it was shooting rainbows from it's unmentionable! But when people mix and match and switch and swatch fishes in breeding facilities for generations to get a fish that looks like that, I take issue!
That is one amazing specimen, and truly unique. Congrats to the new owner!

Will you try pairing it with another flame? Might be interesting to have them in the same tank, from a visual perspective. It also may help spread any aggression from the joc's...

This is the one my friend has

Peter,

My friend who will be helping me with the acclimation suggested the same concept and the plan is to introduce an additional two females or juveniles to help diffuse aggression as well as for the visual effect.

I think the plan is more than one flame... A local guy who knows the new owner posted about it.

just to clarify, hypo is actually just a drastic reduction, not the absence of melanistic pigment. although on these fish it does appear all but gone. a better example is in boa and pythons. i have/had several hypo ball pythons and while the pigmenting is still there, it is greatly reduced

and either way, super nice fish. i love the stuff like that that is different

Congrats on such a beautiful fish!!

Cool. My favorite fish in the world is the Flame Angel. Inexpensive and common, small enough for most medium to big tanks, and totally beautiful. Nice to see a variation on it.

That happened with some of the ghost yellow tangs as well. I think the only all white one left is at Wwc.

Store in Phoenix as well.

Can't wait to see this thread grow with the fish (have you named said fish?), I think choosing of a specimen based on its generic make up is the highest end of this hobby. Not only for it's general asthetic appeal but for the bread and butter of small amount of differnt paring of genes that causes a genotype mutation that acutal transcription/translation into a phenotype mutation. Beutiful sexy and rare

So I say to you sir, dwanner, party on and keep us update with photos

What store? Not trying to argue, but that's news to me.

Great to hear. I think some tiny juvi flames would work well.

Congrats on your new fish. I can't wait to see the pictures when you get it and follow your progress.

 

[ArmanS]

Gorgeous fish. Good luck with it and please post some photos.

 

[dwanner]

Thanks everyone for the encouragement, I lined up two juvenile flames and the Solar Flare arrives next Tuesday and all three will then start a 4-6 week QT before being added to an egg crate acclimation area in my display tank. I will be sure to take plenty of pictures and keep everyone posted

Wonder if this is the same one that was offered up to me last month. I know people said it went to Boston, but I never heard of it arriving there. Good luck with it, Flame angels are the only fish I have never had good luck with. I wasn't going to chance another one.
