Tamarin wrasse ID?? Anampses c.
1/15/14
Hey crew! How are you?
<Kbytes, not Megs...>
Basically, I am looking to buy this fish but not sure what it actually
is?
<...?>
Looks like a blue spotted tamarin wrasse to me but not 100% sure, can
someone confirm this?
Cheers and have a nice day! :)

A brand new found species of Anampses Hi Bob,
<Maya... oh, and there is a lady with your name spelling on the
Big Island, and have another friend there with the homonymous name:
Maia> Yesterday I found a sweet wrasse, the seller told me this
is a brand new found species of Anampses en do not have a species
name yet. And I want to know if this is true, he told me also
it was found 2 months ago, but I don't know where this little
fish is coming from. The 3 things I know are: he's
difficult to keep... <This genus is overall>
...he's a flatworm-eater.... didn't knew this but saw it
this morning, and he's a Anampses species. <Does appear so
to me> Sorry for the bad pics... he wouldn't stand still
front of the camera one is with flash, other without.

Greetings, Maya <Take a look here:
Fishbase.org on fishbase.org... click on the species
names... It may be you have a new species... or just a variation of
a described species. Bob Fenner> |

Re: a brand new found species of Anampses Hi Bob,
<Maya> Thank you very much for helping me out. This
morning I've visiting the Fishbase and also WetWebMedia for
some information and pics. And even Google didn't find my
species. His tail is 3 banded, yellow, black and white at the
end his body is yellow/brownish with blue spots and on his head he
got also a blue spotted painting. His fin above is red
coloured and the one below is dark blue near to black. He
don't have an eye-painting spot on his fins. It's the
same fish as this one, only the wrong colours.

<As stated previously "could" be a new species, but
much more likely either a variation of a described one> You said
to me: It may be you have a new species... or just a variation of a
described species. <Oh... yes> I've been thinking the
same, maybe this is a juvenile of 2 different kind of Anampses,
maybe the A. lineatus & I really don't know, can't find
a second species who looks like mine. The man at the store
told me this fish is called Anampses sp. it don't have a
species name yet. http://www.zee-aquarium.nl/contents/maya/anampses_3.jpg
Greetings, Maya <Believe what you will till experience changes
your mind my friend. Bob Fenner> |
