Wow.... what a sharp looking fish. It's interesting that the cleaner shrimp are doing so well at those low temps.

Justin:
Halichoeres melanurus is not a fish? Isn't it a wrasse? The one I googled was gorgeous.

I am in for the Clarion, I have been watching for one but I had no idea they cost that much. I guess I will need the million bucks first too! No wonder you don't see them for
sale. Yes I love angels and no don't forget the prazi pro, I have also learned that lesson.

They're not quite an million, they sell for about 3-4 thousand.

Fishoholic I think what Leah meant was if we had a million dollars then these fish could be more affordable. She was replying to my post on first page...... A nice fish but again I would have to strike the lottery to buy one.

Diana that is a cool looking fish looks like part of a wrasse family.

Another cool deep water species is the iron butterfly very rare and hard to get they need cooler temps so a chilled system temps between 18-24c found in the waters in western and south japan.

Isn't a wrasse a type of fish? Either way cool wrasse.

Well, if we are going rare/expensive:

Belonoperca pylei

lol no, my bad; poor wording. I meant that the Dragon morays aren't fish; they're true eels. H. melanurus certainly is a fish (and yes, quite pretty too isn't it?)

Balistes vetula

and a 10 ft tank to go with it.

I saw one of these monsters at the baltimore aquarium, amazing.

That makes more sense.

They had a large queen trigger for sale at one of our lfs not to long ago. Nice fish but the lfs said any fish they put in with the queen trigger, it ending up killing them. Of course though, the queen trigger was in a smallish store display tank.
