Wishlist for Marine Aquarium 3 and Future - Page 50

Could the picture of the Subgenus Premnas (Anemonefish) be put in the wishlist?

Jav400 · 09-16-2003, 04:31 PM

You are slightly confused. The creature packs will be additions to the choices that we already have available. When the background goes 3D and wider for panning, Jim has stated that we might be able to have as many as 10 fish on the screen at one time instead of the 7 slots we have now. In addition you might have 3-4 slots for invertebrates to choose from. That gives you ~ 13-14 total choices to make from all the selections that you will have if you purchase the creature packs. As far as the exact species that will go into each pack, the last I heard Jim hasn't made his final choices yet. Other than the fact that the Octopus will be dead last because it will be the most difficult by far.

The Premnas biaculeatus refers to the sub species of Maroon Clownfish. We already have one of those on the photo page.

GreenHsiF · 09-25-2003, 06:39 PM

This is another kind of Batfish that is already in the wishlist,these things are kinda cool looking.

GreenHsiF · 09-25-2003, 06:41 PM

Here is the picture.

Jav400 · 09-25-2003, 07:30 PM

I am a bit confused on this species. I had a Batfish in my home aquarium years ago. ( It lived longer than any other fish I had. ) It looked exactly like the one on the wishlist photo page. I know that there are several other types of fish in this line and some of them do change shape as they mature. The one I had was the same shape from youth to adult. I am of the opinion that it was the Platax Pinnatus, photo located Here I did a search for circular spadefish, which is the common name for a Platax Orbicularis, or OB Bat, as I think it was called long ago. There is another shot of one of those located Here I think anyway. If this is the one you want added, let me know. It would be a fine addition to the wishlist.

GreenHsiF · 09-25-2003, 07:38 PM

Yeah,that would be cool if you can add it to the wishlist.
Thanks.

Oh my god

That first pic is ................... my god I can't find the words . It's AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!
I don't think I ever saw a bat fish like that with all that color . We need one like that in the tank .

Jav400 · 09-25-2003, 08:46 PM

I'm not sure, but I think that the coloring is a result of the lighting at the time the photo was taken. If anyone can find another similar photo, I will be more than happy to change the photo on the wishlist page. The one I put there is more of the standard coloring.

IXNAY · 09-26-2003, 03:01 AM

Hey GreenHsiF your fish looks cool, the texture is so great. Really different from all other fish.

GreenHsiF · 09-26-2003, 03:29 PM

Thanks Green Frog.

GreenHsiF · 09-26-2003, 03:31 PM

I saw this and thought everyone would want to see this.

GreenHsiF · 09-26-2003, 03:38 PM

Here is a similar picture of the Platax Pinnatus Jav400.

I really like the silvery color on this one, plus trim with this lovely shade of yellow. I say this one would be very different from the angels and tangs, and give more variety to the Aquarium.

Jav400 · 09-26-2003, 05:13 PM

There again, I'm not sure about the "reality" of the shot. With the lighting and the reflective window I can't tell what the fish actually look like. I am very hesitant to post photo's of fish until I have seen several that look close to the same. I would dread the thought of everyone going OOOh and Ahhh over a particular photo and then Jim goes to look for it and discovers that the photo we have is in reality nothing like the actual species. I can live with slight color changes and interpretations, but totally wrong is a different story.

GreenHsiF · 09-28-2003, 08:18 PM

How big will these be in the aquarium even if there going to be swimming in a school,will they be bigger than the royal gramma?

Jav400 · 09-28-2003, 09:46 PM

I would think somewhere about the same, maybe slightly smaller if anything. Thats just my opinion though.

GreenHsiF · 10-02-2003, 09:29 PM

I'm surprise that this fish isn't in the wishlist,this fish is beautiful.

GreenHsiF · 10-02-2003, 09:34 PM

can this be on the wishlist,be cool to see a green fish in the aquarium.
