Show us your tropical reef fish!

Before I start, I would like to thank Roger for giving me the privilege of allowing me to post this secondary SUY for January. So, for the secondary SUY, we will be doing TROPICAL REEF FISH! Any other fish are welcome as well though!  So, here are mine. I have a huge searchlist full of fish, so please check that out if you can!   Here we go. My fish count hit 100 last week.  Sorry for poor quality. ALL BRANDS AND SIZES WELCOME!

Hurray , Emmas fish

Amazing collection, you have there, Emma
I hope to show some of mine this evening

I like it so much Emma, beautieful fishes. Are all the colour variations real species? I will post mine soon too.

Thanks Susanne! I can't wait to see what everyone has!

No Andreas, a lot of the fish in there are fake. Even though a blue clownfish or a green scythe butterflyfish aren't real, they give my reef extra color and variety. This is why I want to collect so many.

Bears like fishiessss

Yes i know salmon are not tropical reef fish.

Good try from a bear-collector

I am very happy to get a chance to show these quite famous, large , tropical fish  

In 2001 and 2002, Schleich sold models of 5 different butterfly fish and an angelfish .
What I did not realize untill much later is, that the moulds were actually made by Maia & Borges.
These latter are marked 1998, while the ones from Schleich are marked 2000  
All are made in Portugal , and I thing they are designed by Maia Dias.

The Schleich ones came with a nice tag, telling the name f the species in five languages.

Regal Angelfish

It is very interesting to see both Schleich and Maia & Borges versions in direct comparison. They show relevant differences in painting. Great pictures too!

Thankyou, Roger

Lovely fish! I hope Andreas will post his.

I've got tons of them, here are my favourites

Holy, hopping Hamster

So many beautyful and rare models

Sooo many crazy and beautiful colored fish Andreas!! <3

I don't have any fish, except few salmons in grizzly bears' mouths And my son has also the Mojo clown fish. And that's all
This topic is very interesting to watch You all have very interesting collections
Andreas, you have some really amazing models. The lion fish is especially nice.

Lovely collection Andreas! I have seen many of those in Hawaii. I am too scared to buy Japanese stuff because it's fragile.

Unfortunately I don't have any fish Obviously my small lizard collection does not qualify

Sooo many crazy and beautiful colored fish Andreas

Many thanks friends,  part 2 will come soon:)
