Wanna see some rare fish

I use to own both hawaiian, japanese, and brazillian dragons. I had my hawaaiian in a reef and didn't bother a thing. I think from experience the brazillians were more aggressive than the other dragons. I would have to say the hawaiian was my favorite, I think I got lucky and brought home a rare personality but makes me want to get a tank just for one.
I have pics in my gallery.

That is very insightful Gresham I am glad you came to share that. The stories that we do see online, and in magazine articles will lead us to beleive that everyone is taking giant steps to make everything better.

I guess that goes to show the only fish truely better are the captive bred, which makes them all that much more worthwhile...too bad we can't figure out how to get all of them to breed in captivity, maybe someday.

Sorry to hijack the thread guy, i always like to hear what gresham has to say.

I think the disconnect between scientists, breeders and collectors has led to the lack of breeding of them. The trend has been to get the largest ones, but like Martin Moe said a while back, the large ones are passed breeding. CICIMAR in Baja has been working on breeding them and I do belive they've closed the life cycle years back but it takes temp cues and an AC controlled (cooler) room. I know of some breeders trying with colder systems and with the right broodstock I don't doubt they'll get some success. I'm sure over all they'll be more adapted to aquarium life then :)

exotic had an africanus not too long ago... Haven't been there ever since. but he just got it in, and was putting it in one of the "coral" tanks.
 
That's funny blue spot jaw fish is not rare, in fact you can see them for sale in alot of lfs. I saw more rare fish in here exotic aquarium, they have 2 rhomboid golden fairy, 1 west african angel, 1 female crosshatch trigger and 1 west african trigger.
And the manager said they had sold more than 4 gem tang in the past 4 years.

my buddy ol'Bryan! I knew you would jump in on this! LOL ohh fo sho! you know you use to plug it back in the day. And your welcome for it back! hahha.

I want another one actually. I was designing a tank last night just for one. So it might not be too long from now.

Also the one other fish I want SOOO bad is the TRUE Bodianus opercularis. I know you had one of these guys at one point and I wanted to buy it from you.
And no this fish is not the FAKE MASUDAI that everyone claims to think is the opercularis, and is also mislabelled with the wrong pics when you do a search on it. Theres a BIG price/color difference between the two.
