Once in a lifetime fish sighting -- 6+" interruptus angel in NJ
I have been in the hobby for over ten years and am rarely moved by anything in a LFS anymore. Today I saw a fish I have never seen -- a fully developed 6+ inch interruptus angel fish. Once or twice I have seen a tiny juvenile but this monster is unbelivable. Too bad I don't have $1200 to send on a fish.

The fish is located at In Living Color in Marlon, NJ. If you are in the South Jersey/Philly area, I recommend you take a look and bring your kids -- you will likely not see this again.

I have no connection to the store whatsoever -- just wanted to share the news.

Odd. They are reported to only grow to 15cm (5.9 inches). Either way, that would be an awesome find.

No one truly knows, but it is estimated that most marine fish live 20+ years.

Just an FYI, these fish are/were being tank raised by RCT. I believe they're moving their facility now so they won't have much available for a while.

Here is a picture of the one at ILC. Pardon the poor quality picture, but it was taken with the camera on my phone. I guess that most of the pictures I have seen of these fish were of juveniles, since this fish was quite large and was obviously a mature specimen.
