迷宫的缠身,chaetodontopluscephalareticulatus, is one of the elusive species of large marine angels that we’ve been particularly obsessed with for quite sometime. To make up for practically never seeing any specimens in the country, we’ve frequently shared amazing pictures of large adult maze angelfish from around the world,时间和时间再次。去年夏天,我们随身携带了这种迷宫缠身的痴迷,参加了与SU在Bali Aquarich的SU会议。
在我们访问期间,我们看到了苏先生的华丽一对Chaetodontoplus conspicillatus和he showed us some day old larvae from eggs which he’d just begun collecting, but couldn’t get through development for very long. When we saw him working with the Conspicuous angelfish, and failing to pull through any larvae, it occurred to us he might experience successes with another species first. We encouraged Mr. Su to consider working with the maze angelfish which is hypothetically easier since the closely related blueline angelfish had been reared in captivity before.
苏先生似乎不太熟悉迷宫的神人,所以我们掏出了一些鱼簿,抬头抬起了一些礁石建造者的帖子,种了种子,实际上一无所获。也就是说,直到不到一个月后,苏先生发布了他在台湾(迷宫甜蜜的地方来源)的状态更新,并带有一些神话般的潜在迷宫甜蜜的亲属。
The next thing we know, Bali Aquarich started posting pictures of坦克抬起的小少年迷宫般的缠身他刚刚开始从幼虫发育中将其脱离到小鱼的小片中,开始看起来像是神仙鱼。我们中的一部分真的很惊讶巴厘岛Aquarich在几个月内从成立到坦克的一条小径上铺平了一条小径,但是当进度来自相同的设施带来的设施时,我们真的并不感到震惊captive raised annularis angelfish和圈养的clar绳。
Unsurprisingly, Quality Marine is the livestock dealer entrusted to handle these little treasures, the first captive raised maze angelfish. It is our understanding that only ten maze angelfish were produced by Bali Aquarich, all but two of which have already been absorbed by the global aquarium market for exotic aquarium fish.
迷宫裙角是俘虏的理想目标物种,因为野生chaetodontoplusangelfish are so fickle in captivity; even when an adult or juvenile takes well to aquarium life they are the first to succumb to Murphy’s Law when things go wrong in an aquarium and they can also just stop eating for no apparent reason. Not so much with aquarium specimens grown from a small size, but these are the exception and juvenile maze angelfish are almost unheard of in aquaria.
So now the story of the captive raised maze angelfish comes full circle with the first two offspring being offered byQuality Marine。像几乎所有事物一样,丽瓦里亚(Liveaquaria)很可能会参与外来鱼类的可用性,但是这些鱼会很昂贵。如果您必须问多少钱,您将无法负担得起。
The supposed stratospheric price is understandable since the supply of these first ever captive raised maze angelfish is incredibly limited and there’s only two US specimens to go around. Unlike the captive raised Clarion angelfish of which a couple dozen wild juvenile counterparts are periodically available, aquarium suitable specimens of maze angelfish are not readily available, in Taiwan maybe but not in the U.S.
