黑狐狸,尼日尔西加努斯from Fiji is a fish we’ve heard about, read about, but never seen or documented in aquaria until last week. The black Foxface comes only from Tonga, but just over a restricted range centered around the northernmost islands ofVava’u.
与斐济Foxface不同,Siganus uspi, which is mostly black with the rear in bright yellow, the black foxface is almost completely black with yellow pectoral fins and a yellow margin to the posterior margin of the dorsal, anal and caudal fins. Additionally the black foxface has a white opercular stripe which is more vermiculated compared to the spotted appearance in this area of the pattern of the Fiji foxface.
多亏了Liveaquaria和优质海洋,我们准备好将封面吹向前所未有的Black Foxface。
From what we can tell, the black foxface should be a typical member of the foxface group of rabbitfish species.尼日尔西加努斯is known to grow up to nine inches long and it has been observed displaying fright coloration when it is spooked or stressed, totally expected for a foxface. As rare and as elusive as the black foxface has been in the aquarium trade all this time, it’s not a rare tang and it’s not a rare angelfish, so LiveAquaria expects to begin selling specimens in theDiver’s Den仅从下周开始两到三百美元。这可能是昂贵的“对于兔子鱼”,但是如果您认为它比黑色唐人以三分之一的价格将其视为稀有,更坚硬,更好的藻类格拉泽(Grazer),那将是一个抢断。非常感谢LiveAquaria和Quality Marinefor sharing the first ever living pictures of尼日尔西加努斯,the black foxface from Tonga.
