We are taking pre-orders on Japanese Pygmy Angel - Centropyge interruptus. This is a super rare angel that is very rarely available (maybe every few years). If you are looking for the WOW pygmy angel, this is the one; not many people you can find in the US, let alone Canada that will have this angel. Max size is 6" - definitely an unique specimen to have for any serious angelfish collector.

Pre-order price: $1199.99 Email to Inquire.

Have a good weekend.

If anybody is interested, don't wait - typically this angel does not hang around for you :-D

Some of the LFS are selling them at US$1600 when they are available.

Wow. Mind showing a picture so I can see what all the fuss is about?

Im sure she is a beaut and worth it to someone, but I'm just curious, whats makes this fish so rare. Maybe it is a stupid question but are they very rare to see in the wild?

Picture is already attached in the first post, actually in terms of rare fish; this pygmy angel actually looks pretty nice in comparison. As with most of the 'rare' items in the industry, it has more to do with availability and distribution like the Gem Tangs, McCullochi Clownfish, clarion angel etc.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_angelfish[/URL]"]
The Japanese angelfish or Japanese pygmy angelfish (Centropyge interruptus) is a very rare marine angelfish (http://www.aquariumpros.ca/wiki/Marine_angelfish). It has an orangey yellow body with purplish blue spots completed with a bright yellow tail. The spots are larger towards the tail, and the bottom part the rear of the fish gradually becomes purple. The spots also turn from blue to purple towards the tail. They are native to the Ogasawara Islands (http://www.aquariumpros.ca/wiki/Ogasawara_Islands) south of Japan.
Little is known about this rare species. It does however have a certain reputation among saltwater aquarium keepers. The angelfish is notoriously hard to come by, and at the same time considered one of the most beautiful and durable of Centropyge angelfish. It adepts well to captivity, but because of its rarity, the few specimens that show up in captivity fetch prices in the thousands of dollars
