cirrhilabrus nahackyi

reefjunkie42 · 03/30/2012, 02:44 PM

well thank you to my wonderful not so local LFS that aided me in aquiring the elusive cirrhilabrus nahackyi, from the fiji islands. Apparently QM received some of these fish, and 2 pairs were available. According to my source these fish were actually collected by Tony Nahackyi himself! definatly an amazing chance to own an amazing fish, stay tuned as they wont arrive for another week.:-X now the waiting game begins. Hope all goes well

bhsgk · 03/30/2012, 05:20 PM

seriously?!?!?! you must have every species available in the hobby by now. youre probably the first person stateside with this species. just take lots of pics for the rest of us...

reefjunkie42 · 03/30/2012, 05:41 PM

Haha there is a few species I do not have..;-) but I do have a awesome variety of fairies.

reefjunkie42 · 03/30/2012, 05:42 PM

And I'm quite sure Bradley has one or 2 as well

bhsgk · 03/30/2012, 06:37 PM

ok then, there are 2 of you guys in the states that have this species. thats like saying "i have one of two bugatti veyron's in the states".

do you ever post any fts's? i tried looking for one but you have too many posts! do you have a list of all the species of wrasse that you have. also how long do you keep the new wrasse in an acclimation box? sorry for all the questions but i like to ask a lot of questions, that way i can learn as much as i can. thanks

aquaph8 · 03/30/2012, 07:34 PM

Nice, congrats looking forward to the pics. Dont forget to get me one too.

reefjunkie42 · 03/30/2012, 07:48 PM

a list of species hmm. i have a trio of johnsoni, a pair of lunate, a 8 line, vanuatu pylie, hooded vanuatu varient, krutiers leopards, katherines fairy, flame ,paracheilinus piscilineatus and a bunch more but thats just off the top of my head. a few wants on the list are earls, fems, and bells. but who doesnt?as well as a bunch that are unattainable or very rare if ever sold in the states or even available in the trade.

If Tony collected them himself, they should have come with a certification as such signed by Tony. There are two pairs coming into HK in two weeks time from Tony too. I got the cert... Lol. Celebrity fish.

BTW we're seeing more Bells, Fems, and even nursalims pairs here in HK, which hopefully means more for the US soon. Rumor has it that a few Mutant Wrasses are coming in too.

reefjunkie42 · 03/30/2012, 08:19 PM

wow well all of that sounds great and nursalims? wow id love a pair of those. all i know is according to my LFS QM said they were collected by tony. He is a personal friend as well so i dont think he would make it up to make a sale. i hope they come with a damn cert.! tht would be awesome!! hey btw i take it your getting 1 pair in HK?

Yup, mine are in on the 16th. You should get the certification ... conversation piece at best, right? LOL.

I'm waiting on Nursalim, and apparently it's looking good per the supplier down in PNG - fingers crossed. I just added a male and two female femi's and I will post a video once they have gone thru the requisite "don't die on me" period of time. I did see the male chowing on pellets this morning so I'm pretty psyched.

reefjunkie42 · 03/30/2012, 08:58 PM

wow male? that is amazing i really do hope they do well for you. I am going to try for 2 females and have 2 turn. I wish we could get nursalim here id prolly saw my arm off for a pair.

reefjunkie42 · 03/30/2012, 09:12 PM

check out the QM website, and look under bobs picks. limited number of mac certified pairs. pretty cool im very fortunate. apparently my suppler had them hold us the best looking pair. so i guess ill be getting the certification after all

I rememeber when I saw that fish for the1st time in a picture and i felt the same way...dont google tonganesis either then...

sorry about the spelling

Reefing Newbie · 03/30/2012, 09:32 PM

May I move in with you? I am in love with your wrasses and I haven't even seen them yet! Someday I may be able to be as lucky as you though.

i couldnt find it, is it a fairy or flasher?

nonimmigrant · 03/30/2012, 11:05 PM

Paracheilinus togeanensis

Yurivd · 03/31/2012, 10:26 AM

i still think bells flasher is the best looking flasher

gmate · 03/31/2012, 02:39 PM

That's the best binomial nomenclature I've heard in this hobby yet, I chuckled trying to pronounce it.

reefjunkie42 · 03/31/2012, 04:25 PM

i dont know to me the bells looks drap, just red with no markings....idk to each is own. id much rather have earls over a bells. but i guess having any of those would be amazing as well. on a side note i heard from my supplier that the second pair sold too. so i guess thats a wrap until they show up again!

cmaxwell39 · 03/31/2012, 04:31 PM

Very nice pickup. Can't wait to see some pics of them when they arrive. Wish you the best of luck with them.

Bells is a prettier fish when it's flashing for sure. Of the three, I'm still more drawn to Nursalim ...

reefjunkie42 · 03/31/2012, 08:24 PM

Thank you maxwell and yes I agree nursalim is out of this world. If anyone from hk wants to post a pic of 1 in their aquarium please do!

Congrats on the C. nahackyi pair! As for the Bell's just being drab, we find ours to be quite colorful.
