伪thias callourais widely known for its rarity as well as its beauty. It’s scarcity in the trade has promoted this species to the top of many wish lists, only to bring disappointment to said list makers. Commonly known as the Aurora anthias,P. calloura总是很少见,只在日本市场上出现了几次,然后完全从现场消失。Yoshimo Yusuke Yusuke Yosuke Yosuke上表现出婚礼的男性足以让许多人失去睡眠。
Beautiful photos of伪thias calloura在镉橙色身体上显示令人难以置信的薰衣草蓝色条纹困扰着互联网,但照片显示出正常的颜色雄性很少。那是因为只有在男性展示婚礼的婚礼上,他们才能打开那种令人惊叹的淡紫色。同样激发了水下摄影师的兴趣。上面的照片来自Umioniyome潜水博客,显示了一个常规的未刺激的男性Aurora Anthias在旁边游泳假人smithvaniziandChaetodon burgessi。以其未经兴奋的形式,雄性的禁止具有类似的镉阴影与身体。
上面的照片显示了另一位男性的正常颜色,在帕劳(Palau)游泳。从环境以及这些图片中存在的鱼类来看,很明显P. callourais not a species fond of shallow reef crests. The Aurora anthias is commonly seen at depths exceeding 150 ft, and for a long time has only been known to swim in the waters of Palau. The scarcity ofP. callourain the trade ties closely with the availability of fishes coming out from Palau collectors. In recent years, there have been no reliable export of fishes from Palau, sans a few sparse private collections made for japanese aquarists. Together withCirrhilabrus earleiandLiopropoma tonstrinum, the japanese were the only ones who enjoyed the offerings of伪thias calloura来自帕劳。但是,即使这些货物也很少见。
You may have remembered, in 2012 weposted about伪thias calloura在印度尼西亚的名人中被拍照和记录。P. calloura在1996年首次被记录下来,然后正式described in 2001 with specimens obtained and seen from Palau. The trio of Aurora anthias above was photographed in the Celebes in 1998, and it may be possible that the information regarding the range extension of this species was not available at the time of description. The fact that伪thias callouraexists in Indonesia would mean that it was to be only a matter of time before collectors started stumbling upon, and offering it to the aquarium trade. However that never happened for as long asP. callourawas heard or known, and all specimens however few, came only from Palau.
In the past week or so however, a few cell phone pictures of the highly coveted Aurora anthias reportedly caught by Indonesian divers started circulating around the internet. No one really knew if the pictures were real, and admittedly even I was quite skeptical. Whether or not these would turn out to be the first Indonesian collected Aurora anthias was unknown at that time, until now.
随着新闻的出现,我们看到许多标本在全球范围内弹出。欧洲的Dejong Marine发布了两张他们的Aurora拖运的照片,其中大部分是美丽的男性。我们还看到他们同时出现在香港Iwarna Aquafarm新加坡。我们获得了两位女性尝试和拍照,并很高兴地报告说,这个物种通常很耐深水假人。
我们预计这种深水物种收集不良,尤其是因为它们来自印尼来源。然而,没有一些正常的运输人员伤亡,其余的标本被证明很耐寒,很容易服用冷冻食物。最喜欢假人,较大的雄性更敏感,也不太敏感。我们经历了同样的经历,正是女性表现出更好的韧性和适应性。Aurora anthias是更大,更强大的假人species, measuring in at around 4 inches. As such they seem to be less picky and are able to handle larger chunkier food offerings.
与较小的浅水物种不同,P. callouradoes not form big aggregations and are often seen in smaller lose groups. An odd number like three is best, if you intend to include a male. Alternatively, since all假人是雌雄同体,四重奏的女性可能起作用,最终将变成男性。现在,印尼人正在收集它,可能会出现更多的标本。但是,与Palau同行相比,价格不会下降。这些鱼仍然很昂贵,每只花费至少一百个。
