Swiss Guard Basslet

[UD Flyer]

Has anyone ever owned, or seen one of these fish?

IM thinking about getting one, but its a lot of money for such a small fish.

Joel had one at the shop couple months ago for a while it was a neat little guy

[verper]

Yeah, I saw the one at Joel's.  Cool fish

[UD Flyer]

Was the blue on the tips very vibrant?

[UDJustin]

Im sure it depends on each fish but honestly I can't remember it has been a while and that is a detail i really didn't pay that much attention too

[verper]

Yes 


after looking a picture - maybe.  The lines were what I remember being very bright blue

[verper]

looked like this one with the irridescent blue lines:

Joel might be able to get another one.  You might ask him.

That bottom one looks like a completly different fish.

Yup, I have had and can get Swiss Guard Basslets. The blue on them is is vivid, especially with actinic lighting supplementation. Pretty easy to keep. That second link that Scott posted is not a Swiss Guard Basslet, Looks more like a Masuda Hog to me (also a very cool fish) I sell the Swiss Geuad for abour $80.00 or so, hit or miss on the availability though - could take a few tries to get one. It's an awesome fish!!!
