What is the prettiest fish you own

[Charles Zinn]

My one and only! Neon dottyback at just over an inch long

They get better as they get bigger

 

[Sleepingtiger]

wow, pair of conspics

 

[Sleepingtiger]

it will probably my majestic, copperband and pink square anthias

 

[Jubei2006]

Don’t have them yet but I just ordered a bonded pair of Genicanthus bellus angelfish. Pretty sure these will be my prettiest fish when they arrive

(Photo taken today by the seller, Phelipe with Strikers Reefing - the coloration on the male is to die for!)

Got a male and two females in my 500. Great fish!

Hey Charles, what do you mean?

Oh nice!! I get it's super fun watching them swim around such a large tank.

Currently I'm partial to my Exquisite Wrasse...it has 'transformed' quite a bit over the last year.

Do you know what region that came from? I’m thinking Vanuatu.

Here are a few of mine....hard to pick just one....LOL

Do you know what region that came from? I’m thinking Vanuatu.

It is most likely to be an African variant of Cirrhilabrus exquisitus due to the red outline not being visable. The pink dorsum saddles are also not there (These are the main characteristic between other Pacific variants).
There will always be a red outline on the Pectoral Fin with the Pacific variants, the Indian variants don’t have the outline of red.

Either Gem.... or Baloo...

Either Gem.... or Baloo...

Definitely baloo

I am not aware of its origin. I purchased it a year ago from Dr. Reef. Started off fairly plain, but blossomed into a beauty. Thank you 'i cant think' for your opinion that it's an African variant, good to know.

Baloo. The Blue face angels are exquisite. Look at the detailing of the scales, each one black trimmed in contrasting yellow, the pattern of the face....And I know the blue in the face is much more vibrant and fluorescent in person. Gem tangs, yes they're nice, but it's more the price and exclusivity of them.

 

[Jubei2006]

So I dont know about my prettiest fish, that's subjective for everyone. But my Bellus angels are some good looking fish, and my most expensive. But as far as contrast, finnage display, size, personality, probably my red sea sailfin tang. My favorite fish....my tailess naoko wrasse.

Great fish, I have one currently as well. Love how the red band on the head and just below the dorsal fin change to electric blue when they flash.

I agree on yours looking like an African varient. Here's mine, sorry for the crap pic, trying to catch a pic is an olympic sport. Mine looks to be from the maldives area, Less red in the facial area than the Africans. Dont mind the orange head solar behind him.
