I wanna see more pictures of this guy - Page 3

Sorry to hear about the maze John. That other hybrid is a real gem!

myerst2 · 11/10/2009, 08:44 PM

I have a feeling Johns new hybrid like patron.

rmougey · 11/10/2009, 09:06 PM

Ah crap.... Sorry to hear that. I had a similar loss over the summer when a much larger Maze came in (I think Chris might have a pic). It was infested with flukes, ate marginally and succumbed within a short period. I had a chance, I thought, of pulling it out. But oodinium in the QT was one straw too many.

Hope you get another chance.... they are stunning fish with that orange face and black posterior.

-Rob

ccampbell57 · 11/11/2009, 02:47 AM

Mr. Mougey I do have pictures of your stunning fish! Let me tell everyone on this thread that the maze was the nicest angel I have EVER seen...hands down.

Outerbank · 11/11/2009, 02:49 AM

Sorry about the loss John.

daytonben · 11/11/2009, 03:32 AM

Such a nice fish.

t4zalews · 11/11/2009, 10:29 AM

Im so bummed...I feel like I lost it. That was an awesome fish

copps · 11/15/2009, 02:00 PM

Thanks guys for all of the kind words... on a more positive note I got this little blueline... also from Taiwan, that seems to show more black on the back portion than normal... a beautiful chubby fish...

Copps

Ian · 11/15/2009, 02:03 PM

what kind of temperature was the blue line collected, John?

SDguy · 11/15/2009, 02:21 PM

I saw several pics recently of juveniles with the darker back end. Is this not normal?

ShrimpChipGal · 11/15/2009, 02:27 PM

Sorry to hear on the maze.
The little blueline is simply stunning.

copps · 11/15/2009, 02:31 PM

Ian, I'm not sure... these fish exported out of Taiwan are collected in a wide range around Taiwan, so I don't know... my large Taiwan blueline has been fine at 77-78 though for a while, and remember that this species ranges south...

Peter, the black mine shows is more than normal... although this doesn't necessarily mean input from another species... genetics will tell though, and I can do the choppy choppy on one of his fins...

Mentat · 11/15/2009, 06:02 PM

Sorry for the Maze... death happens. You new Blueline is such a gorgeous little fish, congrats John.

john, the little blue line and conspic are just simply amazing, and i have a thing for small angels

Awesome little blue line John! One of the smaller ones I have seen for sure!

Iwishihadgills · 11/15/2009, 08:44 PM

I love your new little guy! Hes Sweet! Im jelous

copps · 11/17/2009, 12:23 AM

Thanks so much guys... it's such a joy to share these special fish... this little blueline is very special... his posterior is darker than any other blueline I've seen in person... and he's thriving in QT...

I'm undecided on whether to place him with the larger blueline or in a newer coolwater system I'm adding to one of my systems with a bunch of 2"-3" very cool fish I've had in separate systems for a while... and some newer ones... these three guys I've had for a couple of years now... almost...

And junior here... growing too fast... this picture's old now...

Copps

Iwishihadgills · 11/17/2009, 01:54 AM

Do you think the black will fade as she gets older? Maybe its retaining a little of the juvenile colors

jmaneyapanda · 11/17/2009, 07:02 AM

Hey Coppmeister,

I was under the impression that most, if not all, Taiwanese blueline had this "blacker" posterior. Here is mine, which Ive had for maybe a year now. Its a pretty amazing and high quality photo. I suck with pics.

ccampbell57 · 11/17/2009, 09:47 AM

Mine was caught off the Izu Peninsula in Japan. It was caught in 69 degree water.

He has more black than I have seen, but he is still quite small so I am not sure what the future holds. He is also much more orange than my previous Tiawanese specimen.

flameangel88 · 11/17/2009, 10:01 AM

I don't know what's happening to me but the passing of my BL with the bulge may have hit me harder than I realize because all of a sudden every BL picture I see have either a bulge or a pinch stomach. Arg...I think I need to see 'Fish Shrink' for cure.

It's not just you, I think the pic above has it pretty clear. Now is it a bulge AND a pinched stomach, or just what looks like a bulge due to the pinched stomach right next to it?

ccampbell57 · 11/17/2009, 10:30 AM

here is a front view...now remember this picture was taken 3 weeks after the fish was introduced.

jmaneyapanda · 11/17/2009, 11:55 AM

Chris, interesting OTHER fish in that pic. Youre naughty.

tcmfish · 11/17/2009, 11:59 AM

Yeah he always likes to get a little of that bad boy in his blue line pics.
