Your Most Wanted

There are blotched anthias on Divers Den right now. They are $200 each. Love to have a Group of them like a male and 3-4 females. Some of the rare and hybrid tangs would be awesome but $$$$ and tank size wont allow for that.

Yes, but how to you sustain those anthias? Gorgeous. I wish I could have and sustain a peppermint angel. I would set up a separate tank if I could. I am unaware of anyone keeping them long term.

There is one Japanese reefer who has had one for a long term. It is a dedicated tank with 2 chillers on it (I believe). Its in the new angelfish book.
 
1. Chaetodontoplus ballinae
2. Apolemichthys kingi
3. Paracentropyge boylei

1)Found in a marine sanctuary so getting them is going to be just about impossible. I'm not even sure there are any on public display?
2)Have tried to bring them in before but never was successful. I know of only 1 in a private collectors tank in Japan which I believe is in the new Angelfishes of the World book.
3)Unfortunately I think Mr. Boyle has cancer and is not in any shape to be diving, especially to the depths this angel is found. Maybe someday more will hit the market and become available.
 
Nothing too extravagant as far as rarity, but I look forward to one day having:

All are fairly easy to obtain, biggest obstacle is tank space to me having them.
 
(1) Pair of blue assessors
(2)Pair of yellow assessors
(3)Pair of mandarin gobies that ate frozen food
 
Those sea dragons are damn right sexy!!!! Jmaneapanda, where on earth did you find a 1" Rostratum??? Did he land yet?? Can't wait to see a good picture of it. I love the Aurora anthias as well. Keep them coming. I wonder if fishfinder is following this thread, because some the rare fish we speak are common to him. Where as the fish he has been looking for most people have never heard of them. Have a great weekend all. Keep on dreaming. Regards, Tim

ricde, where did you get that prawn goby? zemuron114, where are you finding the candy basslet?

I wish it were mine!!! I've never seen one for sale. Scared to think how much one would be.

But I can dream:dance:
 
Man there are some stunning fish in this thread. For top 3 that i could keep in my tank would be

Lineatus Pair
Rhomboid pair
8 line flasher wrasse
 
Where is that prawn goby found. Does it actually "dance". That is one beautiful looking fish. Keep them coming. I can't wait to post pics of the Japanese Dragon Eel when it arrives. have a great weekend all. Regards, Tim
 
Man I love dreaming about these fish. Campbell a frequent contributor on these forums posted on another thread that he is in Hawaii catching 1" and 3" Bandits while he is on vacation. Forget about a dream fish. How about a most wanted vacation, diving and catching small bandits!!!! Here are some more of the fish i would easily put on my most wanted!!! Keep the pics coming!!! Regards, Tim

Harlequin Ghost pipefish are gorgeous but I suspect you would need a species tank to maintain them. There are various color morphs but those may occur because they are trying to match crinoids. What is the fifth fish down?
 
Anampses femininus
I already have the red tail and the yellowtail and would love this one.
Would they all get along?
Anyone know where I could get one?
