rare fish in your lfs

i've seen some rare ones come and go such as Helfrichs' Dartfish etc.. they come and go around every 6 months. But once and once only i saw a moth fish. Not expensive, probably not even rare, but i have only ever seen one.....

 

well the only exciting thing i saw was a HUGE like a foot long stars and stripes puffer and there was two and i guess when i went to kauai a sea snake.

 

really? they look pretty fierce. so you'd just grab them outta the tank. you're braver than me! yesterday i had one of my clownfish draw blood (his name is Dinky and i am eternally shamed)

 

next time you go, use Scuba Shack in Kehei. you get three dives (one pool, 2 45 minute ocean) for the price of the other guys. they take you out to molokini bay and wailea point. check out this thread

i'll shut up now and stop abusing THIS thread...

 

Yes. And the Pets Mart by me is actually quite good. Livestock is healthy and have seen them on numerous occasions refusing to sell livestock to someone with an inadequate set up. But they only do freshwater There are two petco's that do SW, but. Um. Yeah. I drive out of state and/or order my stuff

 

i went there and took a snorkel boat to those places.

 

Haha Yeah! Thats the one for sure!

 

LFS here had a couple small blue rays, nice looking light blue color, a rare item for them to carry.

 

LOL

I have sen some nice harder to get fish locally, but typically our LFS's don't order stuff that might be hard to sell.
now if you want one, my guy always will order it if he can get one.

Unless it is a radiant wrasse. LOL

 

Hey now... Tell my wholesalers to collect in Africa then!! Panther grouper? Thats rare? Thats food in Thailand... and maricultured... Radiata lionfish? Joke right?Heck I am in the middle of the country and still see great fish on my wholesale lists... I just don't have the clientile or cohanes to order them!
