goldenswimmers Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) Found this awesome little tang that is rare ANYWHERE in the hobby(could it be here?? look at me im flying/dreaming!!)....virtually never found at depths less than 30m and being a solitary fish that spawns in caves this little guy would be a hard one to find I imagine ...chomps down crustaceans etc but only gets to about 10cm and personally it reminds me of a dhonti crossed with a brichardi ...so a pretty little killer ..like many in this lake..aggressive little buggers everywhere:black_eyed:...so anyone ever seen one?...anywhere??(overseas trips!?)

angry Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Yea that ones I had back in the day were fairly blue, something like this guy: My old male the silly aggressive bugger tried to attack my big tinanti (bit his lip) and ended up inside the Tin's mouth, lol.

trofius Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 we should talk about arowana and emperor cichlids more often then :eyebrows: sadly all the emporer chat a few years ago, DID results in heaps available, and they were even being sold in LFS !!!! AQIS pretty much soiled themselves and made emporers a noxious species..sad sad day.. Buescheri are very cool cranky little fishes, one of my favs, and on the re-aquire list at some stage, I had the same sort that Angry posted.

angry Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 emps are on the noxious list now... so short of getting an exhibition license they are the fishy equivalent of a 15y/o female out on the town.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerbeer Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Yea that ones I had back in the day were fairly blue, something like this guy: My old male the silly aggressive bugger tried to attack my big tinanti (bit his lip) and ended up inside the Tin's mouth, lol. Was the highlight of my buesheri experience The most common variant (I have only seen two available, but others may well have seen more) is this one, from Cape Kachese and does have more straigher line. The other variant around has more pronounced break up of the vertical line, of which I have one girl......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trofius Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) The Impossible.....happens People just need to keep off the internetz and think before they talk..Because you never know who is watching you!!! Nicole, Nice pics . Goldenswimmers: They are sad to see in a tank, they are the sort of fish that needs an ocean size lake to be in, but they are a good looking fish in person I wonder if they would allow you to farm them, ie aquaculture, apparently they are great eating.. yes any excuse to have some lol!
