    Lipogramma klayi is one of the most coveted species in the Lipogramma genus and the greater Basslet family. So how about a pair? Shown here is a pair of L. klayi that made their way to Singapore shop Reborn Aquarium. The fish were collected by Forrest Young’s Dynasty Marine crew in Curacao, at depths of nearly 300 ft. The cost and risk of this trip translates to a fish that is rarely seen and fetches a price north of $1,500.

      Awesome fish! These are the ventralis of basslets IMHO.
