Jas is putting together a fish order with a new supplier which has a very good list of available fish, they include all your regulars and plenty of not so regular. Previous experience with this supplier has been very very good.

If you have anything in mind put it down here.

For me...

Two FEMALE Pseudanthias bartlettorum,
One Paracentropyge multifasciata,
One FEMALE Synchiropus ocellatus, not too small since we have a large male

if possible, a pair of tailspot blennies (Ecsenius stigmatura) . if they are hard to pair up then just one, as i think 2 males will fight

if one blenny, then a randall goby ( Amblyeleotris randalli ) and shrimp pair, as well

could do with 5 blue leg hermits too

cheers

Does Jas post fish since he uses a live stock courier or are they collection only?

He has posted some to Scotland before so I'm sure he will do again.

Well if he hasn't put an order in yet i'd like the following:

1 x Male Filament Flasher Wrasse (Paracheilinus filamentosus)
3 (would take 2 though if 3 not available) x Female Filament Flasher Wrasse (Paracheilinus filamentosus)

It's important that there only be one male to the two or three females though. Would be awesome :)

Failing that i've been looking for a pair of Bangai Cardinals.

Thanks

[edit] In the absence of a male, filament flasher wrasse can change sex so if Jasons supplier doesn't sex fish, if they can get me 3 or 4 young ones that would be great. Thanks

I'm sure he'll post up here before ordering. I'm not expecting it to be until next week.

I'm hoping you had a rogue one then! I've read all I can about them on RC and overall they seem to have few or no problems, but each fish is different as we know. More people seemed to have problems with bi-colors whereas mine was a model citizen, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Hopefully, by the time it comes out of 'qt' it'll be addicted to mysis, brineshrimp etc and will have forgotten what sps were altogether.

The Hawiian flame wrasse are gorgeous, but I've got four or five wrasses already. I like the marcellae too, it also features in my list, you bugger, now I'm questioning my choice! What water temperature do you aim for since the seem to prefer cooler ranges?

JASON - Prognathodes marcellae, on your list ?
