    Aww, way to rain on my parade of hope:( guess I'll hafta try 5x as hard for that bandit, and QUICK:( Yeah....i may just have to go ahead and join

    Lol true. Well, you make a strong case, that's for sure. Btw, I was just talking to friends at the LFS, and they were both, separately, saying that this happens like every year. That they've gotten the same warnings many times before and after a couple times of going nuts on Hawaiian stock, they've learned to just ignore it. They think it's probably a seasonal thing when fish are reproducing, or some other important stage.

    Very true, and I definitely think about it every time on here, and on one hand, what's $20 when in the market for a few fish that could EASILY b like over a grand, but then AGAIN, every $ counts, and $20 is no pocket change! Lol what a conundrum!!! Aquarist problems, am i right???

    Ah, ok, I'm not allowed wherever that thread is. Thanks a lot anyway, really appreciate the help:)

    Thanks very much!

    Oh really? Cool, I'll hafta find it! It's in general discussions here, right?

    Ok, so sadly my list is growing of strictly Hawaiian fish:( Yellow tangs Bandit angelfish Potters angelfish Fishers angelfish Fantail filefish Saddle wrasse Flame wrasse Hawaiian cleaner wrasse Hawaiian feather dusters(?) *chevron tangs(not only Hawaii, but apparently very rare the rest of its small range)

    I know, right??? He really blew my mind right there! I knew he was well-informed on the topic because he told me that he would get back to me when he had time to write a full and very long response, but even so, I wasn't expecting that much useful information both about what I was specifically inquiring about, and also related subject info. Lol now I just hafta make sure I don't bother him too much!
  9. Still_human
    OH NO!!!! No fish from Hawaii available anymore? Other than yellow tangs and bandit angels, what are any/all other fish that are from Hawaiian waters? I tried to do searches but nothing helpful came up. (Also, if anyone has a bandit angel they want to sell, let me know lol)
  10. Still_human
    Yeah, definitely, no matter what he is, he's still my little guy(or girl), but if he's not gonna get those spots, I might just have to set up another tank! Lol
  11. Still_human
    Oh awesome!!!!! Lol sorry, you posted that in between me posting some pictures, so don't think I was posting in response to your post!!! That's awesome news! So do you think mine will get more of the bright "goldflakes"? I've been worried because I see lots of smaller and even baby goldflakes that already have the bright spots that mean the pictures that I posted of apparent hybrids, are not necessarily hybrids then, right?
  12. Still_human
    These are goldflake/flagfins, and all 3 look just like mine....DID look just like mine for the 2nd one, and unless I'm just overlooking key features, currently looks just like the other 2 except their dorsal spots just haven't fully disappeared yet, but as soon as they finish, will look completely like mine. Am I just totally not noticing certain features? Someone said before about the face not looking goldflake, but goldflake faces look just like flagfin faces most of the time. Many flagfins don't have the forehead bump that mine and most goldflakes have, but I just don't see much difference between the two's faces. Am I missing important stuff?????
  13. Still_human
    These are the straight goldflakes. They have fairly similar bases to mine, but also showing how different goldflakes patterns get. And I kinda think the 2nd one is even further from a standard goldflake than mine is.
  14. Still_human
    Yeah, but only a couple times. I am familiar with flagfins though. I'm absolutely going to admit to being bias, and wanting it to be a goldflake or hybrid instead of just a flagfin, but to be honest, at this point I really don't think there's too much chance it's a plain flagfin after seeing everything I've been seeing. It really looks exactly like a goldflake, just without the bright gold spots, but the goldflake spots are more varied than almost anything else on an angelfish. my guy does have more of a flagfin base look, although not the normal flagfin base, which is the only thing that looks flagfin to me at all, but on the other hand, I've also seen goldflakes with very similar a base. Like I said, his tail is only has a slight black shade at the moment, but like his anal and dorsal fins, it was jet black when i got him, which along with a couple more features, are things that flagfins just don't seem to get. Most telling to me is that he looks exactly like hybrids Iv seen. I'm definitely still interested in hearing people's thoughts(ESPECIALLY if your thoughts are pro-goldflake lol), but it's going to take a lot for me to discount all that I'm seeing. *Here's some pics below that i just pulled. The first group will be of angels that are solid 100% goldflakes, that point out that any of mine's unusual features are also found on some goldflakes, and the 2nd pics are of hybrid pics, pointing out how much he looks just like a hybrid.
  15. Still_human
    U don't think so? The only thing that doesn't look goldflakey is the lack of sweet flecks on the side. Other than those it looks pretty much just like goldflakes...except for the tail thats black, faded out. And actually, it looks exactly like the goldflake/flagfin hybrids I've seen. Im pretty sure it wouldn't be just a regenamñ thing tho, cause then there'd still be other flagfins around with the black dorsal and tail, even if they weren't as common as the standard look from the standard places. Oh, and blue trim! And the color morph thing, while really cool, would be super crazy if it just so happened to have 3 parts, all of which are goldflake thingys.
  16. Still_human
    Oh yeah, and it only shows up at some angles in some lighting, but it also has the glowing blue trim on the fins and tail, which is another thing that seems to be strictly goldflake. (Phew, i love these moments when I'm very confident that it IS a goldflake, or hybrid! lol)
  17. Still_human
    Yeah, thats a worry I can't help shaking, but there's a couple reasons I'm like 99% sure it's not a FULL flagfin-well, I guess kinda the same-I've looked at tons of flagfin pics...tons....and I've never seen a single one with black on its dorsal fin, and although it's yellow now, the tail was black when I got it, and those are both strictly goldflake features. That's why im thinking it has to be a hybrid...maybe just with more flagfin:/ I'm waiting to hear back from copps though, who seems to have more than enough knowledge on the subject to help. ....but I really hope I don't have to confront the person I ordered it from, that isn't likely to have an ideal outcome.....although I guess potentially I could end up with a free flagfin too, so who knows, roll of the dice, I guess!
  18. Still_human
    Can you even find the little guy? Since the hide a lot during the day, I thought the ideal thing was to put them in small(relatively)tanks so itd be more likely to catch glimpses now and then. I'd be afraid I'd never see him again. Does yours ever make appearances?
  19. Still_human
    Yeah, I love the chalks. It would be so awesome tho, having a tank with all the swissguard looking ones with just different color stripes! As u mentioned tho, they ain't cheap! ESPECIALLY candy basslets, so I wouldn't even dream of taking that chance unless it was a large general concencus that it's ok!

    Does anyone know if it's ok to use red light to view pinecone/flashlight/nocturnal fish? I feel like Iv seen something in the past that said unlike most animals, the red light thing doesn't work for/isn't good for at least for pinecones and flashlights. I know it works for deepwater fish, so maybe I'm wrong, but i can't find that info, or similar information now. I'd really like to find out to watch to see if it's eating after dark. Pinecones give off red light as they age, so searching for pinecone fish and "red light"/"red" brings up almost every article ever written about them lol

Pinecone fish give off red light when older, so searching with the word "red" pulls up practically every page that talks about them:/
  22. Still_human
    Is that something that you might be interested in doing, by any chance?
  23. Still_human
    No one?

    Ok, so anything in the same box is just flat out NOT ok to mix, and the colors just express how bad it would be? Or are the species within the lowest aggression color(yellow) box ok to mix, the medium color(orange) box is questionable, and most aggressive color(red) box is not ok?
  25. Still_human
    Wow, thanks so much, both of you were very helpful!!! About that chart, I don't really understand. Is the bold fish at the top the fish that they are saying how all the fish in the same box do together, based on the box color? Otherwise I have no clue how to understand it:/
