Cirrhilabrus Claire是我们一直以来最喜欢的童话斗篷物种之一,对我们来说幸运的是,今年似乎是南太平洋这种令人难以置信和令人兴奋的鱼类的富有成效的。两年前,克莱尔的仙女哭泣aquaristic debutRufus kimura与同样杰出的麻醉妇女恋人一起收集了大溪地的标本。
On a subsequent trip more specimens were harvested and in November of last year, our special visit to Blue Harbor in Japan brought us the firstup close and personal, intimate look在惊人的地方Cirrhilabrus Claire.然后昨天,我们有一些克莱尔的仙女弗里斯(Fairy Wrasse)被收集在库克群岛这些鱼类表现出异常的色彩,与大溪地的紫色和绿色呈显着不同。
库克群岛的水族馆收集活动比大溪地要多得多,所以我们希望有更多Cirrhilabrus Clairecould be made available in the future. Wouldn’t you know it, hours after yesterday’s earth-shattering rare fish news we received confirmation that U.S. aquarium livestock wholesalerQuality Marinehad just received a trio of Calire’s fairy wrasse of their own, and they were in the process of experiencing their first American style photo shoot.
The trio ofCirrhilabrus Clairethat arrived at Quality Marine was hand collected by Chip Boyle himself, the man after whomParacentropyge boyleiis named. One thing that is great about the Claire’s fairy wrasses that we are seeing is that they are all slightly larger, on the subadult side and we can clearly see the difference between the male and female specimens. While male at Quality Marine isn’t quite as colorful as the Japanese specimens we featured yesterday, it does have the beginnings of the fiery red and yellow coloration in the dorsal fin which makes the Cook Islands Claire’s fairy wrasse distinct from their Tahitian brethren.
Seeing as the supply for the mind-blowing Claire’s Fairy wrasse isextremelylimited, you can be certain that the cost of this illustrious fish will place it firmly in the rare fish collector territory and we believe that the three Claire’s are being offered up as a trio. A huge thanks to Quality Marine for taking the time to produce these fantastic images of theirCirrhilabrus Claire从库克群岛,我们希望这是这个圣杯仙女至少一小滴水的开始。
