supernip Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 Well I got a new fish cause it was damn cool looking. They sold it to me as a japanese basslet. Can someone positively id it for me please? Link to comment
supernip Posted June 28, 2003 Author Share Posted June 28, 2003 here's another pic. they've all been saturated cause they were crappy pics but you get the idea. I've ruled out the possibility of a green banded goby. Trust me, it's not one of those Link to comment
CalciumOverdose Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 for some reason, I am looking more towards a wrasse, rather than basslet.. i think that its what people call an adult mystery wrasse (Psuedochellinus ocellatus) although i have not yet seen them as adults. the juvenile mystery wrasse has not yet developed all its lines but has 5-6 lines vertically marked on its body.. it has a yellow face. white line across its forehead blue/gree fins and a black dot before the tail.. and all i know is, when it matures.. it gains more lines and fins turns red.. haha i hope this helps you a little bit in finding your quest..

CalciumOverdose Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 but then again, i dont think it will be, because mystery wrasse .. psuedochellinus ocellatus or Psuedochellinus mysterii has an almost $300 price tag on them Link to comment
Crakeur Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 here's a link to the mystery wrasse. http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_Di...d=21&pCatId=355 It looks similar but I don't think that's it. a search of japaenese basslet produces the scientific name liopropoma susumi which, when searched, produces swissguard basslets. http://www.nps.gov/npsa/NPSAfish/family/Serranid.htm the mystery wrasse is still the most like your fish. The swissguard basslet sells for around $50., by the way. Link to comment
