The black spot pygmy angelfish may not carry with it the same mythology as the recently collected peppermint angelfish, but it is arguably much more rare. Only the third specimen ofCentropyge nigriocella来自瓦努阿图的新标本是为了水族馆贸易而活着收集的,只是那里的第二个标本。
The 45mm (1.7 inch) black spot pygmy angelfish is selling at the similar price as its predecessors, a cool 1.6 million Yen, or a little more than $16,000 in cold hard cash. Japan’sMarine Gift目前正在提供难以捉摸的神仙鱼,他们记录了一个和平的游泳小家伙,他似乎状况良好,已经开始吃水族馆的票价。
许多其他神仙鱼如此昂贵的原因的原因是,很难获得鱼,通常是从分配,非常深层或两者兼而有之。但是黑点侏儒的裙角是不同的,因为它生活在真正的浅水中,但如此神秘,实际上是看到一个,更不用说抓住一个的人,纯粹是抽奖的运气。
但是,因为这是第二个VannuatuCentropyge nigriocellacollected in about two years, perhaps the local reef fish collectors are keeping an eye out, and odds of seeing the species may be on the rise. Time will tell whether this trend of yearly black spot angelfish will pan out or not, but whoever ends up with this one will be in a very elite club of rare fish owners.
