- This stunning fish was on my wishlist for 17 years. It's a 9 month old tank-raised captive-bred C. interruptus, the Japanese Pygmy Angelfish. She hasn't been named yet, but I'll think of something appropriate soon. #iykyk #bucketlist #angelfish (Part 1 of 2)
Part 2: • Setting up & cycling a...
Congrats Marc. I'm really happy for you man. I think this is the most happiest I've seen you in a long time. You deserve it. Keep her happy. You should name her Kaitlyn btw. Since they both make you happy.
Every part of this story is amazing from your humble beginnings to achieving your dream fish.
Congratulations!!
It’s so nice to have dreams come true! You deserve it Marc! It’s stunning, enjoy!
Catching up -- that's an amazing looking & rare fish you got -- congrats on the little gem!! If she is going into a new, cooler tank... maybe a Blue Spotted Jawfish could be an option too? ;-)
What did I do yesterday? Its all a blur. I went to do a mass frag buy and got distracted by collector's LPS. Intention: Fill the open spaces with twenty or so favia/favites/blasto frags. Actual: Buy 5 psychadelic LPS including an ultra acanthophyllia that cost as much as my German Shepard and absolute orange blastos that I have never seen before.
Congratulations Marc, I can see your happiness shine right through and it's contagious lol... You deserve it, what a fantastic fish. Happy reefing.
Beautiful fish. You deserve it. You work hard and make sure your animals are well cared for. Look forward to seeing more footage of her beautiful colors.
Congrats Marc! Love seeing good things happen to old time reefers that give back so much! You deserve that beauty. Long live interuptus!
That’s so awesome! Adorable how you talked to him too lol
I'm so happy for you seen your video you looked so excited I know that feeling when I get a new fish I really liked....
PT. 2 - Marc’s dream fish became two of Marc’s dream fish!
She is a beautiful fish for sure. I love Pygmy angels
Looking forward to seeing the next one , stunning little angelfish 👌
Thanks Mark
This is also one of my top all time favourite fish! Congrats 👏🏻
“Most expensive fish ever”
The poor peppermint Angel is sat in the corner
"that I've ever bought" -- I'd love to buy a Peppermint Angelfish but I can't swing that one.
@@melevsreef haha, I’d love one too among other angels (Many of which in the genus Genicanthus) Interruptus are stunning as adults though!
Even seeing one of my bucket list fish in a bucket is good enough for me now lol
😋
Beautiful fish. I can't believe the price of it ,wow! I would have been nervous as heck to have this kind of priced fish shipped. Glad everything worked out and all is well 🙂
cool beautiful fish grats on the fish may it have a happy and long life
Seems so happy and healthy already! Can't wait to see it grow.
video does this fish no justice. seen one at Cuttle Fish and Corals in Portland Oregon. amazing fish
I go to cuttlefish every week they also have the dr suess soapbox fish
@@timh9137 on the desk top lol. That is a bad ass fish too
Open the box already Marc! 🤣 it was giving me anxiety the longer it was in there!
dude I put my captive bred file fish in my tank and it died from being overwhelmed by the corals/anemones. My advice is put it in an accilmation container in the tank to prevent it from getting stung by corals and killed immediately.
Awesome! Congrats! You deserve all the happiness you can find! It’s a beautiful specimen!
I'm excited for you!! What a beauty! Glad you went for it!!!!
Absolutely stunning fish and very well deserved Marc, just go get everything you want , life is to short to overthink, we are here for a visit so we have to live with no regrets 👍👍👏👏
Congratulations on getting the dream fish!! Looking forward to footage!!
I clicked on this video thinking it was a 100K-200k fish lol.
😆 I do know of $25000 fish, but odds are there are some even more costly.
@@melevsreef they should make fish life insurance.
Yeah this was a waste of time. Seen fresh water KOIs make this look cheap.
@@JohnnyLightningV10 What did they cost?
@@melevsreef 10k +++
I admire the patience of not opening the box the second it arrived!!
I'm back. That is gorgeous! I noticed on the pics from your friend that fish had some stripping on the back making me think yours is still in juvenile dress? Still very cool Angel. Congratulations on a special fish it be great if you can get a mate and breed them.🤔🐟💙
Yes. A female juvenile. I think those pictures were of a male, perhaps.
You should name her Caitlin ❤🐠
I watched this and felt the joy you must have felt opening this box.
Dude I am so excited for you! That is a beautiful fish 🐠
Congratulations! I’m so happy for you! 😊
Great to see your journey, Marc. I’m excited to be your fish twin! 🙏🏻
That's awesome brother! Such an amazing little fish! I had an opportunity to buy a joculator a while back but I wasn't situated for such a fish at the time. In any rate, enjoy it and it's great to see a smile on ur face! Good luck!
I used to wreck my cars also and bought used cars off my Dad for $500. The good old days. Wish I still had my 1988 Toyota Tercel hatch back 4 speed. REAL GAS SAVER.
Hope you enjoy your fish . Your channel is very educational. The cheapest fish I have is £1000 gem tang . I also have an Easter island black tang . And a conspic angel fish from lord howe island Australia. I was seriously considering a rare flag fin cross hybrid for £12000 . But I’m investing in a popular restaurant at the moment so I had to take all my strength to control the urge . For now then I’m going to move on to super rare ultra corals £4500 for a frag 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Woah!
Almost tempting to set up a breeding tank and trade in some stuff to get a second one, huh? Would be amazing :D
Wow, I saw my LFS have a baby interruptus angel(they look pretty plain as babies) recently and never knew they are so expensive!
Such a georgeous fish I am so glad you found her
Awesome! 🔥
i personally HATE how live animals are shipped with the same care as other non living things. The driver clearly didn't care.
@10:48 fish reveal
What a stunning fish!
Thats a really pretty fish, no wonder you have always wanted it
Very nice fish and well deserved, looking forward to watching it grow in years to come! 😀
Pretty fish! Congrats!
Always nice finally getting things you thought you never would 😎. Cool fish.
Congrats man! Thanks freaking awesome. My fish that I have always wanted is an Achilles tang. I can only imagine How happy this must be to get your dream fish! Maybe one day for me. But i just wanted to say im super happy for you!
Awesome video. This is my first time here but I've been in the Reef hobby on and out since 2016. Love it. Wish I had more money for it. 😆 thanks for sharing.
Glad you found my channel!
Looks a beauty. Congrats well deserved.
Great story. Dreams do, sometimes, come true! Congratulations.
A 4 minute Video, that would have done .
Such a little cute fish. But they have a personality!
Beautiful fish. Cant wait for more captive breeding
Yeah I would definitely grow it out a little first lol
Awesome can tell how excited you are enjoy. I remember years ago I paid 89 dollars for a scotts fairy wrasse and thought that was expensive lol
I finally pulled the trigger and got rummy nose tetras for my tank. Granted it wasn't 2k but it was a big purchase for my nonexistent fish budget.
Interuptus angel needs to be kept below 74 degrees 76 will stress and lower its lifespan they don't mix with warm water reef tanks I miss my Interuptus angel
Congratulations on your new fishy 👍👍.. good luck and hope you have many years together 🙏🙏 have you named the fish yet???
Still thinking about the right name.
What is the average price of this fish? Two arms and a leg?
Marc, you are an amazing person! I love you and your reef.... congrats on the bucket list. BTW I love the "Caitlin's Fish Saver " lid! Do you sell them?
Yes, I can start offering those 2-gallon acclimation bucket covers. That one kind of fell through the cracks with everything that has gone on, but I saved the design I believe.
Found below the surface of the water. Haha !
Did you know there is more planes in the ocean than submarines in the sky!
LOL I bet you're right!
What a beautiful fish!
It helped my nerves with an unboxing like that already seeing after photos on social media. 🤣
Exciting to see the new addition in such great condition and the care taken to confirm shipping.
I did recently add another fish about the same size to my 300 after having in a side tank for a couple of weeks. Interestingly the other fish got over it very quickly since it was so small by comparison and could easily avoid contact in crevices.
Beautiful fish! Could you not just grow them bigger in the isolation box and or make a bigger box? Might be easier than another tank unless u can plumb it in easily.
You only live once, and who knows how many days left we have. Make the best out of each one, congrats and enjoy!
That's a stunner.....congrats on getting your dream fish
So smol and so precious! 💙😍
Love your story! Keep rocking man!
I believe "translucent bag" is the correct description. BTW beautiful fish
Better word choice. Thanks!
I googled C. Interruptus and something else came up haha
LOL I could have never guessed that would come up XD
Cool fish. Now I want a dwarf angel.
Oddly enough, it’s bigger than a dwarf. I would think Pygmy would be smaller?
Awesome congrats I'm glad my bucket lists are more achievable for me, like a purple tang that I have
Congratulations!but I want asking you
Have ever lost any expensive fish 🐠?
Actually the reef tank looks gambling
My budget was 250 now I spent more than 1000$
I have lost a few fish I cared about deeply, but nothing this expensive.
People drop 2k on lights or a calc reactor and pack up shop 6 months later. This aint much in the scheme of things over a very long time, congrats! You deserve it.
Amazing fish, Marc. Very glad for you and it is well deserved.
God bless!
just being totaly honest here...I actually still think my coral beauty is just as nice...as is all the tangs angels rabbits and butterfly's.
enjoy!
Such a pretty fishy mr Melev sir! 😍🥰🐶
Thanks for the eye candy Marc
What's the price?
Last year my LFS had several Japanese pygmy for about one hundred dollars each but I thought it was too expensive and didn't get it. I live in Asia.
You should have bought them. 😂
I thought the C stood for coitus. I seriously thought it was a joke. 😂
Anyone else like “hurry up and open the box!!!!”?
Congratulations on the new addition!
Coitus interruptus, eh? 🤣
@@melevsreef it is an unfortunately named fish. 😂
Shes beautiful!
I know coral sellers that keep their tank at 74-75.
less bacteria at lower temps, some corals and fish, these and seahorses for example get bacterial issues at warmer temp which can be fatal. But he knew all that before buying it im sure, you wouldnt wanna change your whol tank temp would ya, send all other fish into winter during summer ;_
As always thanks for all the work you do on these vids. Have you done a vid on power backups? I’m sure you have a whole generator but I’ve just got a small 30 gal.
I did one in Reef Diary, Day 16. But I want to do that one more detailed in a new video so it can be emulated.
@@melevsreef thanks, it just seems like there should be some better options for small tanks than generators and computer backups.
@@frankbarrett6812 I used a UPS (APC 1500) on my 29g to keep the return pump running in a power outage.
Lovely fish, won't it nibble all of your corals?
This one is reef safe, which is why I’ve wanted one for so long. If not properly fed, it may target some LPS coral.
I hope all the marketers seeing this comment just drop away forever.. 😂
That fish cost as much as four of my vans.. And I bought it on ten payments of fifty bucks a month from friends of mine. 🍀💫💕
And, meanwhile, I am happy you could spend money on something you really wanted for all these years..
I just snorkel and dive, here in Hawaii. So, I get to swim with all the pretty fishes already.. But, I have a brackish 55... with a couple of puffers. 🌴👣🍻
Aloha. -Scotty on Maui.
Coral beauty is just as nice 👍
I have one in my 400g reef. They do not look similar. This one continues to impress.
Wow, beautiful fish!
So.... how much isit ?????????
over 2k locally
Awesome fish! How did you come to decide not to quarantine and treat with copper/API General cure?
I explained why in the video. Basically it was always in good water, not interacting with any other fish or fish systems that share water.
I have one. Price in Australia is 3.5 times what you paid
Wow!
Nice Work Marc
Glad you finally got your dream fish. My question is that you didn’t quarantine. Is this a common practice for you? Did you skip this step because you know the source well enough?
It was raised with siblings in an aquarium, disease free. Then it was shipped to AmongTheReef, who put it in a clean tank with new water for one day, then shipped to me. In this case, nothing was needed. Usually any fish I buy goes through Safety Stop, a two part medicated bath. I have plans to set up a new QT later this summer.
@@melevsreef thanks for the info. I’ll look into safety stop
A stunning fish!
Do you still have this fish?
Yes, I’ve had it exactly one year today.
Cingrats!!!!
Waiting for update on this fish....
