    There are 2 black tangs in my LFS now and I soooo want one. I haven't gotten the owner to bite on my offer of $69.99 yet.

    A few months ago I was in one of the other stores here in town and saw a jewel tang.for the low low price of $3999.

    I don't know if they're rare at all but yesterday I was a mated pair of Orange Spotted Rabbit Fish. They look really cool.

    I haven't really noticed anything rare at my LFS but I don't really care because it's not like I'm going to buy a $500+ fish anytime soon.

    My lfs had a barracuda awhile ago. Another one of my lfs has a pair of nurse sharks.

    My small little LFS doesn't carry a variety of rare species for the simple fact there there isn't much market for them in my little town.

    what kind of tank requirements do you think a barracuda has? i've heard of a lionfish in an 11gal, maybe i could toss a 'cuda in my 50..... :stare:
