Sweet Percula's from Papua New Guinea

[triggerfish1976]

Some new Percs. are coming out of PNG and they are sweet! The pictures don't do this one justice but they are a very bright redish orange and the black marking are very different as well. The pec. fins are very cool. I am wondering if the black will eventually fill all the way in.

I have seen these but im not quite male or female or neither. They are very large.

 

[triggerfish1976]

Yup. The big one was around 3".

Here are some more pics, got a nice shot of the pec. fins.

Its a "I am going to kill you" look

 

[marc price]

that's just what i can't get past every time i consider buying them. as cute as the juvies are the shape of those heads are just flat out ugly to me. i'll take the compressed lollipop shape of a common inexpensive melanopus over them every time. kind of sad too 'cause the picasso's patterns are so cool!

 

[Purple Haze]

Cool shots.

 

[dalilgriffith]

The next post better contain the place of which i can purchase 2 of them.

I'm in for a pair too. who's holding out.

 

[Heterodonut]

I'd take a pair, so when are they hitting the market?

 

[triggerfish1976]

They are on the market as we speak. One of my LFS has three pairs and they aren't overly expensive either.
FYI the Super Perc in the thread was unique speciman whereas the others are looking more like the one I posted.
