Back on topic, one of the interesting things is that flame angels are coming out of Cebu in more than onesies and twosies... rusties are of course much more common though... and of course central Pacific locations send out exponentially more, but it's an interesting note... The APB is out with the people bringing these fish in and each fish is being scrutinized... I'm trying to get more info from the collectors, as this is news to everyone including ichthyologists... pretty neat what's going on...

Copps, what is the APB?

Thank you.

Thanks. The way I read it I thought it was an University or governmental agency.

OK so did we ever hear if anyone on here bought the fish?

I got tired of reading argument after argument and scrolled through. Never saw any picture.

This is exactly why I was ticked at my husband for posting that we got Orange spotted filefish in this forum. I actually hung up on him I was so ticked. LOL.

No, no answer from the new owner.

It's been almost a year and this guy grew out nice and plump

I also got him a buddy that is only 1 3/8" and will take some time to fill him out before they can greet each other.

Looking good, thanks for the update. The middle "mis-bar" is an interesting abnormality.

It's funny to see how the hobby has evolved over the years. I mean these rusty-flame hybrids have been around for years and I mean years. They were going for 200-300 in the NYC area 10 years ago. I think copps needs to stop taking all this credit for finding the true ID for this fish when has been well known for years. Just because someone makes the story public does not mean they are the first ones to break the story. They are nice looking fish but IMO overpriced. Like the way mutts are today. A labordoodle was once given away for free, someone figured out hey call it designer and charge a ton of money for it.
