[carlinsa]

i am just wondering if anyone here knows places online to look for more of the EXOTIC an RARE fish. i have looked at liveaquaria, saltwaterfish and some random spots online. i am looking for tangs that you dont see. my wife and i decided NO EVERYDAY FISH except for a regal tang. just really looking to see what it may run plan on buying locally just wondering if anyone has a good online place to look and get prices.

You might look at jonthefishguys website I know he has some pretty good stuff.

One of our sponsors Ed from Ed Aquatics is very good at finding special orders. I'm sure if you call any of the sponsors they can assist you in ordering. This would be a good route to take if you have a local fish store because they handle shipping and deal with the vendor if the fish dies etc... so that you do not have to take a loss.


Other resources...

Here's a good spot on Doctor's Foster and Smith:

Diver's Den...everything is WYSIWYG

I always just call up Ed though.

Cool, the diver's den does just that for me...I like looking too but never buy fish online.

As said, Diver's Den is great, as well at Les from Wet Pets Hawaii. He collects some rare fish at really reasonable prices

Try NYAquatics....they have rare fish at times as well as Reef Hot Spot.

checked them out but wet pets had no links to look at anything they may have.



i googled rare fish an i got a bunch of sites but some look very cheesy. good to look at but wouldnt buy from them if i had too

[cpreefguy]

I also remember EdQuatics as being able to order rare fish from time to time.

Did you look at Divers Den on Liveaquaria? They have a candy cane wrasse right now that is certainly not ordinary. A bit pricey (I think it is $700), but a very nice fish!

Blue Zoo Aquatics is another good one for daydreaming...

I got in touch with Louise (sponsor) and he's looking for an Achilles Tang for me. His prices seem pretty good.

[carlinsa]

this is what i am looking for now just to find one locally

Sweeet!!!

I bet any of the LFS in town can get you this fish. I would call Louise, but Jason has indicated that he would order anything that I wanted.

That is an awesome fish btw... Maybe we can do a group purchase of two... :)

Carl, I purchased one at Gabes' several months ago, you might give him a try.

[carlinsa]

yeah i know what i am looking at spending now. now i just have to find the others i want an get with someone here to order them

[MRSBIGBIRD123]

I know that Aquarium Design also special orders, I do not know what is on your list, but it may be worth a try. Greatwhite as well.

[carlinsa]

thanks for the replies. found some cool new places to get ideas. think i found what i am looking for and now just have to order from the LFS once i get my new power heads paid for an see how much play money is left
