We all love Pomacanthid angels, don’t we? I’m just going to assume that everyone is a fan of this genus of colorful, characterful, and engaging fish. For many years my best capture of the regal was the pretty rubbish one... by Joe Rowlett | Apr 8, 2024 | Fish

My mystery wrasse is one of my favorite fish, but has been extremely difficult to photograph. This photo was taken with a Pentax K20d with a 100mm macro lens at f2.8 and 1/90s and was edited in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR).… by Advanced Aquarist | Feb 19, 2024 | Advanced Aquarist, Fish
Being a great dad can mean starving to protect the kids, putting up with a jealous spouse – and often, dying young. At least, if you’re a cardinalfish. by Afishionado | Dec 23, 2023 | Fish
It’s been a while that we did a project with Biota Aquariums. Nine months to be exact and I went over to visit my friends and see what was the latest and greatest in the aquaculture and captivebred side to share with you guys.… by AquaNerd | Dec 18, 2023 | Fish
The coral beauty angel (Centropyge bispinosa) is one of the best known members of the dwarf angelfish family, and it has been widely available in the hobby for decades. But that doesn’t keep the popular species from springing a surprise or two on us from time to time. We recently came across this marbled coral beauty from Sustainable Reef Suppliers, and it’s a gorgeous aberrant that gives us a whole new appreciation for the species. The marbled coral beauty was collected out of Vanuatu, and going by the accounts of Sustainable Reef Suppliers, it’s an uncommon variant that isn’t all that hard to find. Apparently, the fish are found at a shallow depth, and while it is far less common than its normal looking counterpart, it’s not totally unheard of in that part of the world. But this is Vanuatu we’re talking about, a place full of beautiful and somewhat odd looking fish. Just perusing the Sustainable Reef Suppliers yields image after image of hybrid and aberrant fish, all collected from the waters surrounding the small island nation.
