Like an infinite looping paradox, we yet again find ourselves dealing with a deluge of deepwater Curacao fish that would be criminal if we did not at least feature briefly. While it’s usually the more charismatic and regalia clad烯烃和Prognathodes这获得了所有的荣耀，不要忘记库拉科（Curacao）拥有的更多。设计和图案化的是深处的一些较小居民，这三部分系列将揭示其中的一些。王朝海军陆战队完全负责许多库拉科阿人的美女，其中许多是无处可寻。在这篇文章中，我们探讨了两个图标Lipogramma属，单色L. evides和粉彩紫色L. Klayi.
Lipogrammais a genus of small basslets maxing at sizes just below three inches. Out of the eight or so known species, only four has entered the trade with one未描述的物种being exceedingly rare.L. trilineatum,L. evides和L. Klayiare the species most often encountered, with the latter two being more expensive. AllLipogramma物种仅限于新世界的深水，即中西部中西部。
Lipogrammaevidesis a delicate little basslet that rarely gets over an inch in length. In this beautiful species, the ground colour is bone white adorned with three black vertical bands. The first one passes through the eye and the last sits just shy of the caudal peduncle, invading the dorsal fin just slightly. The median fins are hyaline but tinted in sapphire, with the dorsal and anal fins outlined in orange along the leading edges.L. evides拥有一对夸张的腹鳍，通常超过肛门鳍的长度。
值得注意的是，还有另一种类似的颜色的鱼。evidescomplex that could one day end up being separated as a distinct species.
Lipogrammaklayiis perhaps the most beautiful, and in this species the fish is two toned with the anterior portion a powder purple and the posterior region starkly contrasted in chrome yellow. The colour transition zone starts just around the seventh dorsal spine and is pixillated in reverse coloration on both regions. The colouration is superficially very similar toGramma Loreto, butL. Klayihas a more iridescent quality and a more subtle, pastel appearance. The median and ventral fins are all hyaline and yellow washed, but the dorsal fin is sapphire tinted on the anterior half corresponding to the purple region of the body.
Both species are found in the same habitats, in depths exceeding 100m (300ft). They are fond of rubble and sandy banks just adjacent to steep vertical walls, and are often seen in pairs or small groups consisting of three to five individuals.
Lipogrammaare shy and very cryptic in the wild, preferring to skulk around loose rubble and shells. They do pretty well in captivity provided the same conditions are offered, in dim and peaceful set ups preferably in cooler waters. Because of their incredibly small and delicate form, very careful handling and acclimation has to be done initially, but once settled down in an optimum habitat they will display their curious and graceful nature that allLipogrammaare known for.
不幸的是，这些鱼属于上层贝斯的进化枝，仅是为了死去的狂热分子。售价远高于四位数，并以不到一英寸的速度进行测量，对于平均每天的业余爱好者来说，这些都不是。
