My New Diamondtail Flasher

Presenting Paracheilinus Attenuatus!!! Sorry for the crappy cellphone pictures. Even with the crappy photos this sucker is bad to the bone!

That is a very nice looking fish

Stunning. Congrats

Any thoughts on this possibly being a hybrid? A friend of mine from our local forum, whom is a big wrasse collector, thinks it could possibly be. No biggie if it's not, just seeing if any of the experts here might also agree.

Really nice Diamond tail seth&angelle I'd say it's not a hybrid, so not as rare, but prettier. I wish I could get one!

Beautiful. The LFS got some in and I was so tempted to add just one more fish. Good thing they were all sold before I got down there. Still it'd been nice to see in person.

Either way good luck beautiful fish

Not a hybrid, but it is a spectacular terminal phase male.

Wow that's a must have if seen in person. I couldn't pass up that either

Nah...

This.


As an aside, the downside of this species is they darken up along the dorsal with our bright aquarium lighting; nearly analogous to tanning.
