What fish is this.

[oscarreef]

Petco has this fish does anyone know what he is and if your interest in him .

Harlequin tusk

 

[oscarreef]

Well petco in Homestead has him right now if anyone is interested he looked impressive caught my eye for sure.

 

[oscarreef]

The manager doesn't know the price but said he thinks about $60 ! Which is a steal.

 

[rovster]

They get really big, and are not really reef safe. Beautiful fish for sure!

 

[knukles55]

There coral safe just not invert safe...... or am I wrong I just thought I read they are just a big wrasse

 

[knukles55]

And 60 Is normal for a small one with barely any color. But if it's a medium/large 60.00 is great

 

[oscarreef]

Yea it's a medium size with tons of color. Lights were of then

 

[Minkota]

There are 2 different varieties, one is from Australia and the other is from Indian Ocean I believe. The Australian one has a lot of blue, I think the one pictured is Indian Ocean which is less expensive than the Australian.

If youre buying this fish from petco be sure you can properly quarantine. Buying fish from petco is like unprotected sex with a hooker from a poor neighborhood in a 3rd world country.

 

[oscarreef]

Lol that's why I only buy fish from petco on delivery day while they still are in the shipping bag. I go so much to petco that the manager holds the fish a little longer without adding them in the tanks for me to see what he got in .

I think its worse than that. I actually feel bad for those fish, and I used to go there thinking I will ask these people for advice when I was going to set up a saltwater aquarium..... No way

 

[oscarreef]

Nope I actually give them advice !!! They do have some great corals sometimes and they don't even realize it ! 2 weeks later and those corals are half dead. I did see they do just dump on the water that the fish come in from the wholesalers. But that's something they don't want to correct so I buy only on Thursday around 11 is when they get there orders in.

 

[knukles55]

All petcos carry saltwater? Fish and corals?

 

[oscarreef]

Every one I have gone 2 do. But be very iffy about buying someth I no

 

[knukles55]

Cool I have one I just opened up so I want to check it out
