毕加索Sailfin Tang是第一个刚刚进入美国的异常红色海洋帆船唐。几乎所有的异常Zebrasoma‘Koi’, ‘Piebald’ and ‘Tricolor’ tangs have all been scopas tangs,Z. Scopas,收集在马尔代夫或爪哇,所以看到红海帆船尝试这些轰炸的颜色图案真是令人震惊。
It was just last year that we saw one of the first异常的“常规”帆饼,Z. veliferum在菲律宾收集,但这是我们第一次见到印度洋斑马瘤Desjardinisaifin tang demonstrate a glitch in its color development. Whereas aberrant scopas tangs have a limited range of white or blue faces with varying degrees of white or yellow patches, the Picasso sailfin certainly has a very different appearance.
毕加索Sailfin Tang的斑点颜色无疑是一个熟悉的图案,大白色斑块与不规则的深色侧面形成鲜明对比,但鳍大多是黄色的,只有一丝图案。真正使这种不寻常的斑马瘤到达背包顶部的是条纹和斑点主要保留在较深的颜色区域中,使我们能够正确地识别这条鱼斑马瘤Desjardini.
We are well aware that the aberrant color pattern of koi and piebald tangs is not for everyone but this Picasso has a really good balance of dark and light colors with a very clear delineation between them, no muddy colors and a symmetrical mask wrapping around its face and eyes. This fish was brought in by糖果珊瑚of Canada and has already made its way to a forever home at the exotic fish sanctuary of Andrew Sandler where the studly fish is already settling well to captive aquarium life.
很多时候,当我们第一次在水族馆爱好中看到一条稀有或异国情调的鱼时,通常只有时间问题,直到发现或收集到更多,即使是少量的独家数量。但是,我们不会期望毕加索Sailfin Tang会发生同样的事情,这很罕见aberrant purple tangs这些记录的速度为每十年,所以也许我们会在2030年代看到另一个。
