It's not there because that is an old name no longer in use. The correct name is C. ryukyuensis. It's in the cyanopleura complex.
Thankyou, it’s about 800L
Thanks, my philosophy was to give plenty of hiding places and then to get the fish in as fast as my filtration can cope with and every fish was bought from a couple of my LFS so we’re hand picked and observed... I put entire groups in together if I could, dwarf angels together at once, anampases all at once, the leopards together, all the Halichoeres, the fairies were more sporadic as they we’re harder to source and I tried to stock from less to most aggressive... i was introducing 5 - 6 fish at a time to start, a few weeks apart.. I also don’t quarantine anything, my methods may not work for everyone and I appreciate i buck the trend in how I add fish, but it’s thought through and with an end goal to work towards, its mainly done to reduce territorial behaviour and to spread any aggression. I also don’t use acclimatisation boxes, the fish just get put in... i will also feed very heavily, prodominantly frozen and as many as 6 times a day, when I stock, this then gets reduced back to my usual 4 times. I have lost a couple along the way, a melanarus and Katherine to jumping and I just couldn’t get a Choati to eat...
This one about 7 years (I think) it might be 8 lol, I had a disaster 18 months ago and sadly lost all bar 2 of my fish, it’s all in my thread..
No, no, no, no!
Only one of any particular species of flasher or fairy. They will all eventually transition to males. They do not pair like some species of fish do.
Other flashers that might interest you...P. attenuatus, P. flavianalis, P. angulatus, P. rubricaudalis, P. lineopunctatus. I have 4 flashers in my tank.
It's only been offered for sale a handful of times. But it's pretty much cf. lunatus with yellow fins.
