这鬼魂匪徒神仙鱼was an unexpected, captive bred surprise. It’s impressive enough that Karen Brittain was able to breed this revered species in captivity, but raising a few stripeless individuals out of the batch also gave us a very interesting fish to consider.
这鬼魂匪徒神仙鱼was born in Hawaii, and several specimens made their way to rare fish collectors in Japan. But it was just our luck that one specimen was shipped east to our home town of Denver Colorado where we arranged a play date between the Ghost Bandit Angelfish and our camera.
石水上水上水上水上水上水上水上水is one of the newer aquarium stores in the Denver area but the owner Steve Visser is a big fan of rare and exotic marine fish. The shop currently features a tank dedicated to gem tangs, and another one with half a dozen of Brittain’s俘虏养育人的神仙鱼,这显示我们看见of one of the very few Ghost Bandit Angelfish alive in the world.
粗体的对角线黑条纹少年匪盗神仙鱼is objectively what makes them such a striking fish. But when you’re expecting the fish to have a stripe and it doesn’t, well that’s equally surprising.
在幽灵强盗中，神圣的签名黑色带减少到眼睛后面的微小贴片，并且还减少了肛门和尾鳍的黑边缘。幽灵匪徒神仙而非都不是所有的白人，因为身体的上半部分仍然显示正常的浅奶油灰色着色Apolemichthys Arcuatus。
所有的鬼魂匪徒神仙鱼仍然很小，石水上水上肌肉标本几乎没有两英寸长。正常的强盗神仙鱼在这种尺寸和大约四英寸之间是从少年到成年着色的最大转变。
观察鬼魂匪徒神仙的着色的发展是非常有趣的，特别是将从白色腹部的过渡到灰色背部的过渡，没有黑条纹以除以这些区域。We’ll be sure to do our part to document the Mile High Ghost Bandit as it develops and in the meantime, kudos to Karen Brittain for breeding such a unique fish and to Stone Aquatics for hosting one of the very few examples of this rare morph.
