    All the usual places have either smaller or larger than 2-3" (i.e Live Aquaria, Diver's Den, BlueZooAquatics, PetSolutions, ThatPetPlace, etc. Why do you need in that range?

    I did a couple of places with the size you are looking for: Surgeonfish: Tang Fish, Hippo Tangs, Yellow Tangs, other Surgeons - Aquatic Connection
    FreshMarine.com - Yellow Belly Blue Tang - Paracanthurus hepatus - Palette Surgeonfish - Hepatus Tang - Pacific Blue - Buy Cheap Yellow-tail Blue Tang Fish at Wholesale

    But I have never ordered from them, and have read a few bad reviews on both. So I can not personally recommend ordering from either of them.

    In addition to reviews, Aquatic Connection has an "F" rating with the BBB. So, that's one to definitely avoid.
