    A WC pair of A. cf. personata arrived today. Nice population. This is how they look from importers couple of hours after arrival. Once the fins heal up and grow back out, this pair should be real stunners.

    MacZ and Frank Hattich - Indeed great find. Appreciate the Google search and conclusions. Here is the male growing out. Not as colorful as some of the pics of D47 from Japan, (they do seem to get the really nice specimens) but showing very similar morphology. Here is the Google Map link...

    Thank you Frank! Interesting discussion and I'd say that photo shows a fish very similar to the one imported by JD Aquatics.

    A. cf. hoignei

    I found that the importer of this fish has given it an additional label of "sp. Cucunuven". Is this a location name or does it lend any pertinent info on ID? Thanks
