ORA Randall’s assessor

joethenathan · Jul 26, 2018

Does anyone know if ORA is still breeding this fish? It looks like most of the threads on the subject are a few years old. TIA

I'm not sure, but I do know DD had one not long ago.

Yes they are....I just ordered one through my lfs and it arrived today. Nice sized and great color!!

I'm getting one as well. I believe they only sell one per retailer/LFS, so there's not a lot of them out there. Hopefully I'll post some pics when it comes in?

I brought mine home today, but forgot to snap a pic. He's hiding right now, but when he comes out I'll grab a quick pic. Super cool fish. Only the yellow and Randall's are available now, no MacNeill's.

Sounds like I need to call my LFS.

minus9 · Jul 28, 2018

They're in very limited supply right now.

joethenathan · Jul 28, 2018

I’m just glad to hear there’s still a breeding program.

How much was your fish, if I may ask?

GoldeneyeRet · Jul 29, 2018

Yeah, I saw the mcneils is no longer available, glad I have one!

minus9 · Jul 29, 2018

I think around $50 - $55? I had store credit from bringing in frags.

How’s yours doing minus?
Mine is doing great!! Love him and my yellow assessor!! They have both colored up wonderfully, eating well, and are out and about all the time!!

joethenathan were you able to get one?

I have a couple of cell phone pics of mine if anyone wants to see....they really don’t do him justice....he’s really a lovely fish!!!

joethenathan · Aug 18, 2018

I haven’t found one yet. LFS has a pair of MacNeill’s. I may just get one of those.

luv2lopeqhs · Aug 18, 2018

You could Email ORA and ask Jordan Noe he may be able to locate a dealer for you that might have one....he is the one that hooked me up twice to get my assessors

joethenathan · Aug 18, 2018

Well there’s an idea. Thanks!

He (or she) is doing great. After I put it in the display, it only came out in the evening and morning for the first day or two, but now it's out all the time. I agree, beautiful fish. It's like viewing a clam from the side through the glass or top down, big difference in how much more color and iridescence is revealed.

luv2lopeqhs · Aug 18, 2018

That’s the perfect description minus9!! Glad to hear yours is doing well too. They really do have an iridescence to them and I just love that deep dark blue with the orange markings!!
