I have photos of C. marjorie and C. rhomboidalis but unfortunately they're not good enough to upload. I think I might have rubrisquamis but I'm not sure.
I'm sure you'll be able to upload it as they would be the first in the gallery. Some of my photos are awful yet still got the pass.
The rhomboidalis ones are bad, the fish is identifiable but neither is worth uploading. I actually can't find the one of majorie, I'll have to keep looking.
I've never heard the word Tamarin in relation to anything other than a small South American primate. Or, with a 'd' on the end, an Asian fruit. But never for a fish. Hix
Thank you both for this, never heared of this ! I know tamarins untill now only as small, fastmoving and nice-looking hairy beasts !

Is this topic still active? I recently uploaded a couple new species of wrasse to Zoochat, including three species of Bodianus. The previous picture of Bodianus loxozonus at Duisburg was incorrectly identified, so here is a real one: Blackfin hogfish (Bodianus loxozonus) by Sicarius posted 25 Nov 2022 at 1:56 PM
