Nice looking fish Sanjay. Those pupils are very interesting.

I don't know if the annularis i have are M/F. I just like to add multiples of fish if I can in the hopes that they will form a pair. Not even sure if these fish are sequential hermaphrodites. So far the 2 have not killed each other, so there is hope that they could become a pair.

As for the shape of the pupil.. I have have no idea why its shaped like it is.

They dont get very big. The serranus annularis has a max size of about 3". So should be fine in a 40G.

I think some of the basses, like the chalk bass are often overlooked as reef fish. They are small and relatively cheap, and pretty.

Holy smokes those guys are awesome!

Some of the basses are really cool looking fish. I have no idea about the pupils either, but if it helps at all most of the pseudos, bass, and groupers have that tear drop shape to their pupils.

Sanjay, they look sweet my friend. Do you shoot your pix in video mode and just select a single frame? My fish like to swim. Yours seem to pose for you

Best of luck with them. They truly are beautiful.
