We’ve been following Anubis, the one-off purple scopas tang hybrid, for almost a year now. Despite its radical juvenile appearance, we initially thought that the Purple X Scopas tang would lose its appeal as it grows. But we are glad to say that we couldn’t have been more wrong. This unique fish, is nothing we’ve seen before, and god knows that weird aberrant tangs are now very common, and we’ve documented many of them.
但是Anubis Tang与其他任何奇怪的唐不同,并且这种鱼的血统书没有明确的共识。它仍然有些混乱,这是什么混合动力,但最可能的是Z。ScopasX Z. Xanthurum,或者只是有史以来第一个俘虏的Bred Breed Purple X Scopas。
While purple tangs appear mostly solid purple, they actually have a variable degree of large dots transforming into wide lines along the body. This doesn’t quite match up with what we see in the Anubis tang, but the purple shades on the side are very strange.
Whatever this fish is, it’s definitely a very unique fish, and we understand why Mr Su is keeping it, hoping to get it to spawn with other tangs, and produce even weirder fish. We didn’t know what to expect as this fish grew bigger but we are thrilled that it grew up into something truly special and we hope to see more captive bred crosses like Anubis in the future.
