Where did you get your crosshatch from? He looks really awesome! I haven't seen one with such bright colors before. He is a very nice speciman.

Thanks for all the replies everyone! Yeah he is a great looking fish and full of life. He has been munching 3" silversides all morning (little piggy).

Absint - I will get some full tank shots and put them up later today. My current stocklist is: Emperor Angel, Blueface Angel, Queen Angel, Crosshatch Trigger, Niger Trigger, Clown Trigger, Naso Tang, Hippo tang.

FishyMel - I got him direct from Hawaii. A friend of mine owns one of the best LFS in Colorado and he called me to tell me they had one for an UNREAL price 2 weeks prior to Christmas. He was net caught off the Big island of Hawaii.

LukFox - he is about 8.5-9" he is bigger than my emperor angel, but is as sweet as a puppy dog. His trigger has not gone up once. I am very happy with him.

WOW! That trigger is amazing! Makes me seriously think about getting one eventually, even though they are a little pricey. Gorgeous fish and tank ccampbell57!

Hey JM - I paid $200 for the fish!!! It was a deal that I couldnt pass up.

I got a call on a Monday morning from my contact and he said that there was a Male crosshatch that had just been caught and the guy in hawaii wanted to make some quick cash before christmas.

It took me about oh say...2 seconds to scream out YES!!!

I paid $30 less for my Blueface!
