Pacific East Aquaculture March 7, 2015 Share March 7, 2015 Ultra RARE Tahitian Gold Flake Wrasse! That we are aware of this is the first time this fish has been in captivity. We have two, one is being sold and the other is being donated to Joe Yaiullo at the Long Island Aquarium. They are eating pellets and a wide variety of frozen foods. As you may know Dr. Mac set up our collection station with our partner in Tahiti and we regularly import fish and clams from our station. All fish are collected with small hand nets and then treated according to an extensive protocol we designed and all fish are eating before being shipped to us. Check our site for other Polynesian fish and clams.

Pacific East Aquaculture March 7, 2015 Author Share March 7, 2015 I know some people have been asking if this wrasse is reef safe. To our knowledge the two we have in stock right now are the first in captivity. We have them held in our fish system. Since these are the first Tahitian Gold Flake Wrasse in captivity we do not know for sure if they are reef safe. They are absolutely beautiful! We are donating one of the Tahitian Gold Flake wrasse to Joe Yaiullo at the Long Island Aquarium. The other is available and we are selling it. Here are some more photos of the beautiful Ultra RARE Tahitian Gold Flake Wrasse (Labropsis polynesica). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pacific East Aquaculture March 9, 2015 Author Share March 9, 2015 Are they mated. Would be nice to see a breeder get both if they were. Our partner collected them as a pair. We think they may be the same sex as we housed them together when they first came in and then we saw some aggression and separated them. We are selling one of them and the other is being donated to Joe Yaiullo of the Long Island Aquarium. -Alyssa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacific East Aquaculture March 9, 2015 Author Share March 9, 2015 Why aren't they in stock more often? Deep water fish? To our best knowledge, this is the first time they have been in captivity. They are uncommon and were collected in a very remote area of French Polynesia. -Alyssa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
