除了每两年在Interzoo中看到的新产品洪水泛滥,Dejong Marine Life的壮丽的3米(10英尺)方形礁坦克展示。这个巨大的展示实际上是商业交易和新产品推出的礁石生活的绿洲。
Every InterZoo Dejong Marine Life goes above and beyond to pack this tank with the most exotic corals and quite literally the rarest fish you’ll ever see. This display has evolved over the years but there’s virtually no way to count the number of corals in this reef tank, ranging from show stopping gonies,Micromussasand more Acros than you can shake a stick at, and even fields of sun corals glued to the undersides of caves and arches.
The fish population was equally impressive with schools of rareCalloura anthias, groups of Lennardi wrasses, and an amazing grouping of Dejong’s eponymousGramma Dejongiwhich had been conditioned for months and appeared to act very naturally in this display tank. But if one fish stole the show for us it was definitely the very liveDebelius Anselfish,我们亲自见过的第一个也是唯一的也是唯一的人。
The cost of some of these fish is beyond comprehension with the northern Indonesian anthias costing upwards of $1000 a piece, the Lennardi wrasses and Dejongi grammas costing a pretty penny as well, but the biggest sticker shock would have to come from the $18,000 Debelius angelfish.
We’ll have more pics and videos to share and the most interesting fish but in the meantime do enjoy this quick take we did with progressive aquascaper and fellow YouTuber George Farmer. Every time we go to InterZoo we can’t imagine how Dejong will be able to top their latest 3 meter reef aquarium installation but since they’ve premiered baby tiger and peppermint angelfish in the past, and with this year’s Debelius angelfish, we wouldn’t put it past Dejong to blow our minds with something equally rare for InterZoo 2020.
