Mutts are the best kinds of pets! So personable, so loving...

 

[pookstreet]

Thanks guys. It's eating like a champ already. I'll get some more pix up soon.

Don't hate bro. I've already got my kids scouring the neighborhood for another one. And if this one decides to DEVOUR my corals instead of just nipping at them, I am sure I know where there will be a good home

What size is it?

LOL!!! Yes sir!! I have a great home for it right here

It's around 2 3/4", which is hard to come by in itself, even if it was a straight tinkeri. Most of the tinks showing up are fairly large, usually around 4" or bigger. Finding a pair is almost guaranteed that you will have a large fish. But to find one in this size AND genetically influenced by burgessi and perhaps even flavocoronatus, is what really excites me. When it comes to reef and fish keeping, this is what it's all about, at least for me


And Chris, I know you are working your mojo right now, so you can stop hoping it'll start mowing down the reef :lol:

Nice find. Was it collected from the Marshals?

 

[SDguy]

That's a beauty, Kenny! Congrats!

 

[denash24]

[Sugar Magnolia]

Beautiful!!

 

[pookstreet]

Thanks everyone! It's so exciting to be able to acquire something extraordinary such as this by a lowly reefkeeper like myself.

A shot of the little one in the QT.

Sorry forgot to answer your question. The Marshall Islands is most likely where it was caught, even tho the chain of custody is sketchy. After talking to John, the area where these species mix are localized.

Me too. Wouldn't it be amazing to find another one as a playmate.

stunning fish!!!! Congrats!! Where did you get him from? Many time the hybrid tinker complex fish have muddled colors, but your fish the colors are crisp and clearly separated. Well done on an amazing find! t

Thanks! I've been trying to get one for a while now. Even got a regular tinkeri earlier in the year from the late Rob Lower but that one didn't make it through the QT process. I was astounded to find this specimen available and locally.
