    Apparently Machado de Sousa has a thread going at the "other forum" which I don't read anymore. This was new information to me, and I was completely amazed

    The rare fish video was great. I don't think i saw the peppermint angel on the video. Always thought it was just about as rare as they get.

    Yeah, peppermint angels are amongst the rarest in the world (there's a few other mega-rare dwarf angels likes C.narcosis, C.delibius, etc.). But that blog was strictly about Arcuatus angels, which are one of my favorite fish of all time. Tiny specimens like that are incredibly rare in the USA.

    Ah! I now know what video you're referring to (on H2O's website :p). I was confused for a bit. I'm pretty sure the Peppermint Angel was in that video somewhere, but I could be wrong. It had some fish that aren't really all that rare either, and it also had some of my fish photos too :p
