Keeping the meletremus with the Rhino was no problem what so ever. If any fish was in danger it is the borbonius anthias. By the way the most commonly used named for the anthias is the Blotchy anthias. When I acquired the anthias, it was from one of the first few shipments to the states. They were Very blingy!!! It seems over the last year and a half they are easily obtained every 4 months or so. The last batch being WAYYYYY! cheaper than what I paid for. Also after being properly quarantined, (internal parasites being a majoe issue), they are extremely hardy. Think hawkfish hardy. Later, T
Some more pics for you guys!



Probably one of my favorite pics.

Forgot to add this fish to my pics. I have had this Tang forever and love him to death. So simple yet so beautiful, but certainly qualifies for being blingy. Zebrasoma rostratum


This is almost definately my favorite pic. The Rhinopias is the only fish I could never get to feed on frozen. So the little petrified damsel is about to be dinner. I love the concentration of the Rhinopias and the sheer terror of the damsel. Who says fish can't show expression??? Oh the humanity!!!!!!!!

SWF has them - just follow the link on the upper left to see their fish. I'm sure you could also make a request at your LFS.
Be careful, though, frogfish can and will cannibalise if their sizes aren't very similar.

I just showed my husband the $2900 gem tang on DD, and to my great surprise he said that he wouldn't be mad if I bought that. And we are middle class folk. I'ts tempting, but if I had a spare $2900 I'd be putting it towards bills.

Well 2900 is a crazy amount of money for a fish but there are fish that go for 3-5 times that amount. Pics below. T

Most of those fish are one of a kind morphs/crossbreds, or fish so rare they've only been collected 1 or 2 times. Not really fish 'in the industry' in the same light as Gem Tangs or Conspicuous Angels which are available if you want to buy.
The trigger just an Undulated. His unique color comes from it's special local diet. Once in captivity, it's colors return to regular Undulated colors.
