Daily fish fact #695
Amanda’s flasher wrasse!
Tumblr media
This species was only very recently named and discovered. It used to be considered a part of the red-tailed flasher wrasse species, but genetic studies and morphological differences prove that this Australian fish is its own distinct species!

Review of Australian Species of Paracheilinus Fourmanoir (Teleostei: Labridae), with Description of a New Species from the Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea
#FlasherWrasses
Yi-Kai Tea, Fenton Walsh
Abstract
Australian species of the cirrhilabrin labrid genus  Paracheilinus are reviewed. Four species of Paracheilinus are reported from Australian waters: P. amanda, new species, from Flora, Holmes, and Osprey Reefs, Coral Sea, off northeast Queensland, and Harrier Reef, Great Barrier Reef; P. filamentosus from Lizard Island, Great Barrier Reef; P. flavianalis from Evans and Flinders Shoals, Timor Sea, off northeast Darwin, Northern Territory, and Ashmore, Scott, Seringapatam, and Hibernia Reefs in the north-western shelf of Western Australia; and P. nursalim from Flinders Shoal, Timor Sea, off northern Darwin, Northern Territory.  Paracheilinus amanda, new species, has previously been confused for P. rubricaudalis from Melanesia, but molecular analysis of mitochondrial COI recovers both species as reciprocally monophyletic lineages, differing from each other by 1–1.2% in genetic distance. They further differ in aspects of live coloration of terminal phase (TP) males. Both species are allopatric and do not overlap in distribution. The new species is described on the basis of six specimens: the holotype and two paratypes from Harrier Reef, Great Barrier Reef, one paratype from Flora Reef, Coral Sea, and from two paratypes collected off Hula in southern Papua New Guinea, along the north-western margin of the Coral Sea. The discovery of P. nursalim in Australia represents a new and significant range extension from previous locality records of West Papua and Ambon Bay.  Paracheilinus is rediagnosed, and keys, diagnoses, photographs, and Australian distribution records are presented for all species herein.

Chinese dwarf, campbells, and winter white for the hamster asks for whoever u prefer! Hope ur well :o) -hamsterwife
i'm gonna answer for bonito and zoro n_n
Chinese dwarf hamster - What do you and your f/o do for fun together?
spar! bonito and zoro looove to spar together it's their favorite thing, they like to test each other's limits, they're kinda competitive but also their sparring sometimes gets a little too homoerotic lol!
Campbells hamster - Do either of you use the "puppy dog eyes" on each other? Does it work?
out of the two of them bonito does totally, it works 90% of the time zoro has a soft spot for bonito after all <3
Winters white hamster - People often get pets that resemble them somehow, what would those pets be for you and your f/o?
bonito really likes fish so i always imagined him having a pet fish, specifically a carpenter’s flasher Wrasse and it resembles him a little for it's red/orange hue!, for zoro i don't really picture him with a pet to be honest

🐟 Fishuary 2024 Day Three: Wrasse 🐟
Tumblr media
Amanda’s flasher wrasse (Paracheilinus amanda) is a only recently named and distinguished wrasse, it used to be grouped under the red-tailed flasher wrasse species but genetic studies and morphological differences prove that this Australian fish is its own distinct species! Having said that… woah, I just explained that information in a perfect Daily fish fact format. That right there could be tomorrow’s fish fact even. Damn. That’s just how I convey information, huh?
Anyway, cool wrasse! Hurrah! @fish-daily
