The Peppermint Angelfish? We promise that ReefBuilders is not turning into a video farm but as rare as this fish is, the video recently posted on blueharbor.co.jp is the only one of it’s kind, that we know of. Furthermore, for a fish which costs up to $20,000, you’d think they could afford to do a better job at making a video without reflections and with much better compression. In any case, the rare fish worshipper in each of us will treasure this gift from the rare fish gods as a sign that this ultimate rarity is possible to keep in an aquarium, even if it is full of brown rocks, dirty sand and kept at cold temperatures with no tankmates.
