Coral Hind January 10, 2011 Share January 10, 2011 Wow, that is pretty and with a nice price tag too. Cool water fish always scare me because I know eventually during the summer the power will go out and it will cook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad January 10, 2011 Author Share January 10, 2011 Ahh, yes, but they go so well in the massively unnecessary second refugium, sand bed tank that used to be seagrass, but it all got eaten so now I don't really have a defined purpose, but it has a couple nice wrasses and some sand in it portion of my subtropical seahorse tank!! (deep breath out... someone needs to buy it soon or it might just end up there...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimeemoss January 10, 2011 Share January 10, 2011 I would be scared of a $700 fish. It is awsome looking though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowieReefer84 January 11, 2011 Share January 11, 2011 Chad, Call Chris down at WWC. This one has been on their site for a couple weeks.... http://www.worldwidecorals.com/p-1745-anampses-lennardi-wrasse.aspx Yes, I stalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad January 11, 2011 Author Share January 11, 2011 haha, I am not as bad with the stalking as I once was, but I do know that a group of around 12 of these wrasses were imported into the country in early December... I think I am going to have to take an online break so I don't end up getting one!!! I had to physically leave my house and go running earlier when I saw that one on DD... Now you show me another one!! What to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L8 2 RISE January 11, 2011 Share January 11, 2011 http://www.liveaquaria.com/diversden/itemdisplay.cfm?c=2733+3&ddid=108562&ref=4282&subref=AI&cmpid=E-_-TR-_-DDN-_-PRDCT Wow, a rare find, I wish conditions were right for me today! That's the third or fourth one that has gone up on DD and an awesome fish, very jealous about the people that have gotten some! mine is the scribbled angel they just put up there! Had 2 and lost them both. Someday.... DD has been getting quite a few of those in lately. My dream fish as a centerpiece for my tank has always been a Blue Line Angel, a Scribbled was next and I was about to pull the trigger on a Scribbled from DD when I found a source for a Blue Line (I was amazed and sooo happy to find one left this late in the season- they usually come in during the summer), so I pulled the trigger and have had him for about a week! He's eating well and I'm fattening him up to go in the display probably in another week or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikS January 11, 2011 Share January 11, 2011 I would be scared of a $700 fish. It is awsome looking though! Agree, that's a lot of coin for a fish................though if it's from DD the odds of survival greatly increase - those are cherry picked fish - not your run of the mill. DD is about the only place I'd even consider spending that much on a fish. Okay, who did it? (didn't last very long ) We Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad January 11, 2011 Author Share January 11, 2011 It wasn't me... but it almost was! I was sitting there staring at it, CC in hand, thinking, then I went for a run, I figured if it was still there when I got back I would do it... it wasnt. The reason I was hesitating was the adult size and my current setup... And not because my used-to-be seagrass area isn't large enough now... it is because I WOULD have gotten a larger tank for it. Basically, it was comitting to more than just a $700 fish! Then Mike had to go and throw a wrench into it by pointing out the availability of another one!! I need to stop looking at the fish sites for a while! I knew there would be a bunch available because so many came into the country (here) at once... Pretty freaking crazy!!

I know that feeling, clicked your link & then went to DD................female bellus.........almost clicked........almost.

Chad January 11, 2011 Author Share January 11, 2011 Yea, DD does a great job at providing well acclimated fish. Today I am feeling a little sad that I missed it, yet relieved that I don't have to worry about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copps January 12, 2011 Share January 12, 2011 Kevin has a few more of these and that will be it for a while... this is a long haul trip to collect these in West Australia and they are seasonal... Also keep in mind that this is a subtropical fish... even mid 70s is pushing it... And buying Anampses with a guarantee is worth its weight in gold... Kevin knows how to condition these fish!

Copps Was just going to say the same thing! Cool water fish like 68-72 degrees, so if you want some catalina gobies this would be a great fish to put them with!
