Rare fish show-off !!!

[Cassian]

Hello all!
I wanted to start a thread to show off rare fish in the hobby that we own! I haven’t seen a thread like this yet and thought it would be cool. I absolutely love rare fish!

You can post pics of rare species you own or common species with rare variations!!! The latter is always a treat to see (at least to me it is). Have fun and let’s get some pics up!!

Here’s the rarest thing I own so far

A magma wrasse! Not too rare, but I still think it’s a gorgeous fish!

haha! Fish envy

Where did you get your moyers from? I’ve heard it’s hard to get them to eat

i have a pair of canary damselfish (Chrysiptera galba). fairly well-behaved and always out & about. i like them a lot despite the pinch in the wallet.

apparently they do okay in groups ... i’d love to get three more (180G main tank). my fav LFS tells me they were a regular sight back in the 80’s (90’s?) but not so much nowadays.

I got it from a transhipper in the Bay Area of CA. I’ve never had issues with getting leopards to eat. This is my 3rd one. Lost a potters in a power outage.. my black leopard I’ve had almost 2 years.

Wow!! Those are quite impressive @lion king !! What kind of lion is the one in the third pic? Very nice fish! I’ve always wanted a lion but afraid of getting stung. Plus I have small fish

One of my favorites as well. I only have a single one.............they have gone up drastically in price and more rare over the past couple of years.

He has a lot of pink hues in him as well........that seems to be vary among individuals.
