I like their tail fin because it reminds me of a tang... but other than that I have not seen a picture of them that really appeals to me

Yep.. If this guy really has an Omanensis..which we all know its impossible.. I will seriously eat my words and run down the street naked yelling "The sultan touched me!! the sultan touched me!"..

I guess we will see... Im 100% sure he has a Clarkii or something..

Trust me..in this case is totally and completely IMPOSSIBLE.

The odds of a A. omanensis making it to Minnesota are very slim..

I guess only pictures will tell... lets see them..

I have heard tales that omanensis sometimes strays beyond the protected waters of Oman, but as far as I know there aren't many collecting stations in Yeman either.

I have seen pics of chrysopterus that look very much like omanensis.

This pic was taken in the Solomon Islands. Comes complete with tail extentions, black ventral fins and yellow pectoral fins.

that opens a massive can of worms


For all intents and purposes that is an omanensis but to say that it is from solomon raises alot of other issues, do they exist at all?? how can a fish stray thosands of miles that has a 14 day metamorphasis????
