What rare angel is the least owned?

[michindi]

Tremelle.... I agree. I have a chrysurus and a interruptus angel. If I had the room I would love to add one more "rare" angel

As any tried keeping multiple Chaetodontoplus species in the same aquarium?
I currently have a Conspic. and I was also thinking of adding a blueline angel as well. My tank is 450gallon so I think I have the room but I have read it is best to try to vary the size of the specimans.

Its alway better to ad a bigger one then u already have. Where did you get your conspic.?

 

[triggerfish1976]

I ordered it from Old Town Aquariums in Chicago. I acctually found out about them from this post.

 

[michindi]

Wow thats cool. So how much did he/she run you? Also does Old Town Aquariums have a website.

I just read the title and i would say if the clarion is acclimated right this is by far the best and easiest rare angel to own.

I would have to agree that the least owwned pomacanthid is Centropyge narcosis. I have never even heard of fanciers discussing this species.

Within the last few years I have seen 3-4 hot tomatoes (hotumatua), 2 clippertons, several clarions, several army tags (Apolemichthys armiatagei Hybrid between A. trimaculatus and A. xanthotis), plenty of interruptus, personatus, joculators, conspics and other Chaetodontoplus species.

What I havent seen is debelius, nahackyi, kingi or guezi. The clippertons i saw were the result of a hit and run job which bagged about 50 specimens. I am pretty certain the hawaiian specimen originated from this same collection.

The H. limbaughi at the Waikiki Aquarium did not come from that group, but rather a very small collection during a research trip about 10 years ago. It was hand carried back to Hawaii by the collector.

Thanks for clearing that up Brian. Now that I have read through this entire thread I too look forward to seeing the C abei pictures.

This is Centropyge abei. It is a photocopy from aqua, Italy, and you should ask for the copy if want to know more about it. I highly recommend you to subscribe to this journal that shows many new species in every issue.
