I don’t think we would have a tank large enough but I believe it’s possible .

Public aquariums do it .

If I could get a blue face , blue ring , queen , emperor and possible a French that would be my final and retirement build

Yeah thats my point! Cant have a big enough aquarium to have one of each large and dwarf angel but a girl can dream right??

me too....

Made a post about that too… they are just so beautiful and interesting I think!!

Instead of only dreams ..
Dream and work towards making dreams reality …
I already have one angel .
Adding a queen or blue ring available .

Genicanthus takeuchii Angelfish Redux | Reef Builders | The Reef and Saltwater Aquarium Blog

Genicanthus takeuchii is hands down one of the most beautiful and exotic of all angelfish species, known only from very few hard to reach locations in the Northwest Pacific Ocean.

Would love a harem to go with my Bellus angelfish group. But never seen them in person and assume they'd be the same cost as Genicanthus personatus (Masked) angelfish

Surely Genicanthus takeuchii would have a much higher price than G.semifasciatus, although these types are not available in the aquarium trade, surely I have seen a couple of photographs of them in captivity, surely Asian hobbyists willing to pay significant sums of money for precious fish like this.

 

[Jubei2006]

I would expect them to be in line with Genicanthus pesonatus (masked) at like $16,000 per or maybe more, as opposed to G. Semifasiatus (masked swallowtail) at $250 to 500 per specimen

dang, I can't believe I confused the Genicanthus personatus in your first post and compared it to G. semifasciatus, I don't know what I was thinking, sorry , but yeah, it would definitely be a price to place on a fish like G.takeuchii, juveniles are stunning.

What's that one fish that you absolutely love and want to have but can't. Whether it's because of tank size, tank type, budget or some other reason.
I would love to have a queen angel but my tanks not big enough, I have a Mixed reef, and they can be difficult to get.
They are my favorite fish to see when I go diving.

i started the hobby for seahorses. i ended up getting a pair in the end so i cant complain that much but my dream fish now which i have been wanting for around 3 years is a tang! most of all a yellow kole eye tang!!!

No worries, there are many that are similar, I do it too. Caudovitatus, Wanatanabe, Milanospilos, Lamarak, they are all striped

This guy.
Just too risky at $500

 

[oceancowboy]

While not super rare.....the crosshatch trigger. Had one for a while....cool fish.

Though it's not a fish, and not what I want but cant have, but my 4 year old granddaughter asked me the other day if we could get a baby dolphin.

Yellow tang, $1500 IF my dealer can get one from the distributer

I remember when the yellow tang was basically a staple reef fish everyone had, but the black tangs... we would get those in and tag them at 1600. It's crazy
