Taiwanese Blueline eye Candy

[ccampbell57]

These guys are straight from Taiwan. I have 3 new bluelines that I will attempt to create a "crew" with my japanese blueline.

Here is a picture of the 2 that paired up, but I need to QT separately...the 3rd is a little terror right now.

Enjoy!

Here are all three in a 10g when they came in

Very cool Chris :thumbsup:

[stunreefer]

Sooo hot... want to touch the fishy...

[racerw]

Awesome. One of mine is a lil terror as well, they are currently in a 20 gallon seperated by egg crate until they decide to play nice.

[rachenbrazil]

soooo nice !

LOL Stacie! I hear you...I put them in the 10g to acclimate and one litterally clamped onto the others tail like a cat...I have never seen a fish do that before...

I will remove the barrier in around 3-4 weeks to see how they get along...

[rholguin]

Beautiful fish. Good luck in pairing them. Keep us posted.

[alovely]

You can see the faces have very different markings...you'll also notice the face of the japanese has a much different look...

[Recty]

Cute little fish. They look to be around 3" or so?

[ccampbell57]

yup 3" for the smallest and just around 3.5" for the largest

[R.W.]

very nice! I've always loved blue lines!

[hdean]

wow ive never seen those before thanks for sharing they are amazing

[scchase]

Very nice fish if they decide to not ever get along well I'm close =)

[Bax]

Just beautiful, it's like blue line nirvana!!!

[rmougey]

Love those guys.... :)

[NexDog]

Is it me or are these Taiwanese even more awaesome than the Japanese ones? Didn't you have 3 Japanese Bluelines?

[Cantonesefish]

Wow, no idea you going to do a harem of 4 bluelines! Yes you are the man!

Don't be surprised if the Japanese blueline is dominant over the Taiwanese :p

[AngelAddict]

Very nice, I really like the Taiwanese bluelines, love the bluer face. Goodluck with them.

[ccampbell57]

The taiwanese versions are very very nice, but the fact that the face of the Japanese continues the straight lines from the body makes it that much more perfect. If you look at the picture above you can cleanly follow the lines through the snout of the Japanese specimen. The taiwanese facail markings get jumbled up and make a mask of blue spots.

Also the body coloration of the japanese is a deeper yellowish orange...the taiwanese specimen are yellow.

I originally brought in 3 japanese bluelines...only 2 survived...Cantonese got the other one :)

Wow beautiful fish, that's guna be sick

Agree.

I did not realize this before that there is a difference between the two bluelines. Just thought they were just at a certain phase. Thanks for bringing it to light. Very beautiful fish and good luck. When are we going to get a full tank shot?

[Ian]

...he lives in a place that cannot be contained ;)

Arizona? :lol:

[roktsintst]

Hahahahaah!!!!

[kirkaz]

Be nice to Arizona....Very nice CC, a "crew" of Bluelines will be an awesome addition in your otherwise drab tank.

:lol:

[Gogandantess]

Wow awesome angels. You Sir must have some nice secret connections! :bum:

[Sheol]

Ahhh so you are the one that got the extra that I warned him about selling :)

[rekn]

warned him? you wanted him to keep it?


it wasnt a a decision i made from the hip. when he posted about it i jumped on it then and there.


i had car trouble and rob went the extra mile and shipped them to me too=)

[ccampbell57]

Sent you a PM

[dflad]

Cant wait to get mine!

[copps]

Very nice Chris. I'm going to attempt to wrestle in a small orangeface (or as I prefer to call it septentrionalis hybrid) with my bluelines... if I get the nerve to after quarantine...

[ccampbell57]

Thanks John! Good to see you around here buddy!

I have been looking for the orange face for some time and found a source, but when I saw the examples I was not impressed...let me know if you find one...

We have Rob confusion. You posted about one Rob (me) and Chris was referring to a different Rob (not in CO). Glad the fish continues to do well for you. :)

-Rob (wait.... which one am I???)

[copps]

This one is gorgeous... and about three inches like the other bluelines coming in but the bluelines only cover the front half of the body... :)

[roktsintst]

Wow John that sounds Amazing!!! Please, Please post some pics when it comes in!!!

Thanks for the clarification Rob! Too many Robs in this

Is the orangeface the same as a maze?

honestly, it wasnt my place to ask. i just got excited about local people getting a type of fish i love.

[mjsfish]

I'm curious, why did you choose to import yourself instead of buying stateside?

[ccampbell57]
