It’s astounding how one little tweak of color or just a small change to the pattern of iconic reef fish can give them a remarkable new appearance. The latest glitch in the coral reef fish matrix is a black and white moorish idol which is only the third such monochromaticZancluscornutus要记录在最近的记忆中,仅次于水族馆爱好收集第二次。
We didn’t get to see the first one up close since it was在Scuba Divers上捕获的视频and the last one was already in Japan and illustrated with only a single photograph but thankfully, our friends at RVS Fishworld gave他们的new specimen the full on magazine cover shoot treatment. One interesting aspect of all three of these black and white moorish idols is that while they allforgot to put on their yellow vests, they all still retain a small yellow half-stripe across the snout.
It’s interesting to consider that there isn’t one gene or expression which is affecting all the yellow color of moorish idols but a couple of them since the yellow snout is persisting in the absence of the yellow mid-body stripe. There was a time when we wouldn’t be too thrilled about an aberrant moorish idol due to a historically poor track record in our aquariums but this is no longer the case.
多亏了新食物,以及对营养需求和高级技术的更好理解,诱使挑剔的鱼类在水族馆中喂养摩尔人偶像的前景比以往任何时候都更好。这些令人鼓舞的改进Zanclussurvivability we wish the newest treasure fromRVS Fishworld最好,希望它能生长成一条具有独特燕尾服风格的颜色图案的漂亮大型成年鱼。
