Aquaramais a fish and accessories exhibition held biennially in Singapore, where exhibitors, exporters, industry authorities and hobbyists gather for a glimpse of the aquarium happenings in South-East Asia. Although Aquarama is mostly geared towards freshwater fish and their corresponding ribbon ponies, it offers a healthy dosage of marine related paraphernalia, such as the market debut of new fangled gadgets and equipment. More importantly, it’s also an excuse for the various industry personalities to gather and discuss on the latest happenings and闲话(开玩笑)。
虽然活动的地板在很大程度上困扰着带有Gewgaws和其他Thingamabobs的摊位,但这两个领域的稀有鱼通常都没有供不应求。参展商和出口商借此机会炫耀不寻常的鱼类,因为为什么不呢?我们对一些更罕见的水族馆产品印象深刻,但是一条真正脱颖而出的鱼是Chrysiptera Niger,,,,also known as the Tufi Damselfish.
C. nigeris a small species endemic to Papua New Guinea (PNG) and the nearby D’Entrecasteaux Islands.C. niger具有漆黑的钴的地面颜色,并叠加了一个以水平条纹的点折 - 折 - 划线图案排列的金属蓝色点。脸颊和脸部以同一点的千变万化和随意图案进行网状,并且沿背部更完整的条纹。尾花梗的最高部分是显着标记的。
Tufi dam sellish的名字来自巴布亚新几内亚的图菲入口,大约四十年前首次闻名。尽管这条鱼不是科学的新手,但它在水族馆的爱好中相对较少,几年前短暂出现,然后又完全消失了。因此,令人惊讶的是,在漫步时,我们发现不是一个,而是三个Tufi Damsels仔细阅读了一个小水族馆。
在PNG国家渔业管理局和天堂水族馆共享的一个展位上展出了少女。我们坐了一会儿,谈论了该地区的一些可能令人兴奋的鱼类,这些鱼类会引起礁鱼鉴赏家的兴趣。除了Chrysiptera Niger,,,,cirrhilabrus walindiis another species that i’ve been personally dying to see since forever ago. Paradise Aquariums is not exporting at the moment, but they will be soon, and hopefully we’ll get to see something promising in the near future.
Also on display in the same booth were a group ofHalichoeres乍看之下似乎并不熟悉的扭曲。与Kuiter的Wrasse Bible进行快速咨询(您的意思是您不会随便随身携带?)揭示了其身份Halichoeres argus。H. argusis a beautiful labrid with a dizzying series of miniature green checkerboards superimposed on a reddish background. The face is a labyrinth of larger spots and streaks, and the fish most closely resemblesH. melanurusandH. Chrysotaenia。It can be differentiated from the latter two by having a more spotted anal fin tail respectively.
尽管范围很大,并且偏爱浅水,但H. argusis actually pretty seldom encountered in the trade. It loses shine to its more popular and celebrated sisterH. melanurus,但出于不公正和不清楚的原因。该物种绝对不太壮观。天堂水族馆和PNG的国家渔业管理局(National Fisheries Authority)在单个坦克中有一群混合性别,他们只是充满了完美。
巴布亚新几内亚也许是最著名的Morse Code Maroon clowns,一种表型显然仅限于该地区,以及最近的所罗门群岛。betway官网推荐我们不确定那里发生了什么,但奇怪的是图案Premnas偶尔的斑点和条纹并非罕见地收集。诸如闪电栗色小丑鱼的撞击的极端畸变也起源于PNG。也许这些小丑鱼居住在海葵中,这些海葵粘附在浓郁的放射性铀脉上。也许不是。绝对不是。
天堂水族馆也显示Tufi哒msels, a pair of these signature icons of PNG. With a nice collection of fishes on display even without exporting anything yet, it’s safe to say that we’ll be seeing more of Paradise Aquariums soon. Hopefully a more stable and regular influx of PNG fishes will grace the aquarium scene once again. We’ll be on a look out for sure! A big thanks to Lorel Oli and everyone else at the booth who took the time to entertain and talk to us.
