The final series to this short Curacaoan sampling deals with two prominent and rather well known Serranids from the region.plectranthias garrupellusandGonioplectrushispanus是周围地区的或多或少的图标，也是王朝海军陆战队几乎独家产品之一。与上一篇文章中的巴斯莱特不同，P. GarrupellusandG.西班牙裔众所周知，受到狂热的水族馆的喜爱，尽管非常昂贵，但事实证明，这是前卫珊瑚礁饲养员市场中最常见的最爱之一。
也称为杏子bassletplectranthias garrupellusis a fitting orange in the same colour hue as the stone fruit. Juveniles such as the one above are weakly inscribed with vertical banding. When fully grown,P. Garrupellusdisplays an irregular set of bars, usually four, with a mottled or clouded margin coloured in silvery white. In typicalPlectranthias时尚，前三个背刺是白色的，而鳍的其余部分清晰。这使鱼具有伪 - 饱和的外观。
这个美丽的物种的最大尺寸约为4英寸，在100-375m（330-1230 ft）之间的非常深的水域中发现，但最常见于200m左右（660英尺）。随着深水潜水物（例如Curasub）的实施，更多的深水物种即将曝光，否则这将很难或不可能看到传统的水肺。和所有人一样Plectranthias物种，P. Garrupellusy y又与岩石栖息并等待移动无脊椎动物猎物的岩石非常紧密地结合。该物种在囚禁中很容易维持。
The second Serranid featured alongsideP. Garrupellus是美丽的西班牙国旗。goniplectrus hispanus是一种深水石斑鱼，过去在交易中极为罕见，但近年来越来越受欢迎和可用。在这个美丽的物种中，色彩从字面意义上讲，它回想起“西班牙国旗”的色彩，这是其同名科学和共同命名法的原因。鱼在红色的紫色和黄色线条中水平地条纹。腹鳍是明亮的粉红色粉红色，肛门鳍上有一个红色的斑点，白色呈白色。
The juvenile pictured above is very small, at an inch in length and is one of the smallest we’ve ever seen for the species. The coloration is subdued and not at all representative of the species, which is usually more colourful and bright. The only other grouper to possess the same horizontal striping in roughly the same colour combination is the unrelated Pacific speciesCephalopholis polleni，波伦尼石斑鱼。
像所有的团体一样G.西班牙裔很容易保持较快增长。Given the size of this juvenile it’s probably harmless with smaller fish, but as it grows with time careful manipulation of its tank mates has to be carried out to prevent any unwanted losses.
This three part mini series offers a small sampling at some of the beautiful Serranids living in the deep waters of the Antillens and Curacao, where submersible rovers are often employed to bring these species to light. It’s nice that large beautiful烯烃，，，，预后还有其他花哨的鱼在那里优先考虑，但是记住较小但富有魅力的物种总是很高兴。
