丑角戈迪,Pseudanthias connelli,是最疯狂的arnthias物种之一。来自西南印度洋的哈雷奎因·戈迪(Harlequin Goldie)主要是南非水域的特有,在该国以外很少见。
These are large showy anthias with a reasonable adult size and thick bodies on which their memorable color and pattern is displayed. These fish normally have a basic orange body color but males are saddled with a large girdle over the front of the body and a flag like tail.
当展示雄性时,将大部分身体变成白色的薰衣草紫色,使其与黑暗的腰带图案更加对比。任何Anthias的产卵展示都是可以看见的,但是丑角Goldies的大胆标记绝对是顶部。
In this new video from Blue Harbor we see a harem of well conditionedPseudanthias connelli‘practicing’ their spawning runs. The full spawning colors are not yet in display but you can see hints of it in the girdle of the males and the pattern of their tales. These fish seem like they would appreciate a larger tank to do their full courtship display but in the meantime, it’s cool to see that this fish is doing well in someone’s home aquarium.
Important Note:The ability to export marine fish from South Africa is a grey area but there’s no doubt that a few fish have been shipped to other countries within the letter of the law.
