[reefman]

if thats true, i would think we should restrict all private sales of this fish.

 

[Reef Lover]

Yes. If there is only 27 around, how hardy can it be?

its kinda crazy to buy an angel fish.... i think that is a joculaor....that looks exactlly like a bi color....

 

[marrone]

It's a Centropyge Joculator. Just Rare Fish had one not to long ago for $750. Joe Russo has one also, don't know if he still does as I think he moved. It's much more hardy than the Bi-color but not that easy to find, though it seems more are showing up. Never heard that there where only 27 of them.

not impressed

not impressed

Not for $1,000, then again none of the very expensive pygmy angel impress me, specially for the price they go for.

You know it's that's "it's a rare fish" so I gotta have it even though there maybe other fish that look nicer and go for a faction of the price.

Common Name - Cocos Pygmy Angelfish
Scientific name - Centropyge joculator
Appearance - Front half is bright yellow and rear portion is dark metallic blue. Blue ring around eye and yellow edge to dorsal and anal fins.
Location - Collected only from Cocos and Christmas Islands northwest of Australia

Comments - Only a few are collected for the hobby. Typically sell for $800 to $1,000. As with all centropyge it will feed on flake foods but will do much better on a variety of small bite-size frozen foods, such as mysis shrimp. These fish enjoy having access to hiding places and are collected from deeper coral or rubble zones. Tanks with live or decorative rock are great. Position the rock openly so as to create many passages.​
